The Longest Range Motorcycles For 2023!

[@fauveride]

Unlike similar videos made by other KZbinrs, motobob's series makes me want to watch it instantly.. with the right video clips, solid theme and high-quality recordings.

[@Jagshemasher]

I did a 2-up + lots of gear 3850 km tour on my 2019 FJR1300 this summer and it averaged 22.5 km/L = 4.44 L/100 km / 63.5 imperial mpg which with its 25 litre tank gives a theoretical range of 562 km / 349 miles per tankful.

[@Zerror87]

The Zontes G1 125ccm has a 20l tank and a range of nearly 1000km.

[@tomekvilmovskiy6547]

breathtaking...

[@eirikaustad7580]

Impressive, but not a really well known bike and you need to ride very efficient in the right conditions to reach that 50km per liter. In reality you are looking at 35km per liter at least so that would mean minimum 700km range. So I'd say 800km out of every full tank is reasonable, it's a 125cc so you need to give it throttle to actually move forward... Also for a normal 125cc street bike I'd rev the shit out of it to get those 15hp as often as possible and not care too much about fuel like I do with my Suzuki GSX-R125. It ain't exactly a problem refueling a 125cc, you'll likely not ride it empty in one trip, and if you are you'll find a gas station since you are on the street, so 20l tank is adding a good amount of weight to a weak bike.

[@tomekvilmovskiy6547]

@@eirikaustad7580 agree, ~700km. Also, they even do not paying attention to the tank volume in their ad video on the site. I guess, most likely, it's just styling feature - bulky tank.

[@alrhodes5011]

​@@tomekvilmovskiy6547. My partner has got one, and she easily gets 500+ miles range. She often rides it at 70mph (the speed limit in the UK) to achieve those numbers.

[@Dan-56]

Left off the list was the Suzuki DL650 V-Storm with a 5.3 gallon tank, average mileage of 57.4 mpg, so a range of 304 miles.

[@Checkpat]

Moto Guzzi v85tt shoult have been on your list… 23 liters and 4,5 l/100km

[@cmptuomp3]

The Moto Guzzi V85TT gets a 23L tank and fuel consumption is around 4,5L/100km so around 510km range.

[@thedubwhisperer2157]

The conversion between consumption units is simple but not one that most would be able to compute accurately in their heads! Divide either consumption figure (l/110km or mpg [UK gallon]) into 282. (Actually 282.481. Use 235 for US gallon [actually 235.215]). eg. given 5l/100km consumption. 282/5 = 56.4mpg. And back again: 282/56.4 = 5l/100km.

[@udayshome1793]

My air-cooled Honda CB350 in India (sold as GB350 in Japan) has a 15L usable tank and returns 42kmpl regularly when touring (I keep it cruising at 80-90kmph, this being India). 600+ km range. Considering the Triumph Scrambler 400x, for next year when it comes out, for a bit more power.

[@theunheardprophet4315]

You forgot the V85TT.

[@DavidKD2050]

650 VStrom easily achieves 4L per 100km is you don’t go silly and with the 20L tank is up there with the best of them. I ignore the not so great fuel gauge on mine and set the trip meter on fill-up and go to 400km, and guess what, it takes 16L every time.

[@popodori]

My AfricaTwin AT only goes 270 miles on a tank. To get to the figures quotes you'll have to go 20 mph until empty

[@keithkamps77]

Where is the Honda NC750X?

[@brakmaster]

I was about to type the same thing...

[@vivekpatel3752]

Back in the day Honda entered Indian market with a bike called CD 100, 100 cc bike which use to go 70-80 km per litre... It made hero-honda partnership no. 1 company for almost 30-40 years...

[@4G63TDSM]

You probabky don't get this there, but check out the Zontes ZT155G. A 150cc street scrambler with a 20L tank, rumoured to have a range of 1000km. That's way more than any bike I have come across.

[@chanhockaun]

I have a Zontes G155 for two years now. Runs great, fantastic quality and runs forever in it's 20 liters tank.😊

[@alrhodes5011]

We have the same bike in the UK, but it's a G1 - 125cc bike. It does have the same engine but it's detuned so it's learner friendly at 15bhp. My partner has one and it's a great bike

[@bluefoam]

You missed all of the Moto Guzzis... V7 has a 21L tank and 4.3L/100km

[@CathodeRayNipplez]

Maybe weird sticky out cylinders freak people out?

[@Checkpat]

And v85 with 23 liter tank and nearly same consumption

[@stewy62]

I use a mix of metric and imperial units but I can’t get my head around litres per 100km although I get that your viewers are worldwide. But at least mpg was included in the summary table 🇬🇧

[@motozest7856]

You missed the Desert X with the OEM accessory fuel tank (21+8L).

[@Isha048]

Let's compare the range calculating on the engine displacement... here we have 125cc compared to 1250cc, and it's OK, but what if we compare, for example, bikes from 1000cc to 1200cc (more or less, you decide, of course), that have the same function, I mean, adventure with adventure, naked with naked, tourism with tourism, and so on. I would think that can be interesting. Thanks for the video Motobob.

[@dabtheking4637]

i agree🤝

[@richardchileshe9910]

I'd like the real world fuel economy figures from your previous videos v claimed for the bikes on this list. It would be of interest if you can do a real world fuel economy leader board (similar to Top Gears fastest lap board) for the best to worst fuel economy for each class of bike. So after you do a review, you can also at the end place the real world economy as a comparison. That would be awesome. Thanks.

[@thedubwhisperer2157]

Google "Fuelly".

[@MacAlex007]

Now send that list to Suzuki, so they can compare it to the Katana... 😄

[@hughmac7423]

I get 5km/100km from my Pan Am, pretty happy with that, and I can get 400+km when touring. The best range bike I had was a Moto Guzzi Le Mans MkV, it had a 24lt tank, 4/7km//100km and gave me 510km range, unfortunately is was not suitable for long distance riding with it's sports riding and suspension.

[@ukvamp]

could have given it in UK MPG, how many litres to 100km means nothing to almost all, if not most UK riders

[@1Mcoach]

I had africa till 2021, and very hardly you can get below 5,5l if you riding gentle (on B-roads). Now with my NC750x model 2021, I can do 390kms with 13l of petrol (the tank is 14,1). - I am talking about gentle riding on B-roads. In terms of performance, fuel consumption and quality of riding, the NC is unbeatable machine.

[@dabtheking4637]

You have to see Bajaj CT 100 mileage:-90km/L Tank:- 10.5L

[@Nulrom]

The Suzuki 800de has a 20L tank and 21km/L. And it's true, I have it. Theoretically she does 400km with a full tank. In reality she does more 370. All those bikes they don't really do the max L/KM when you load them and you pass 120km/H. I really like the Suzy.

[@patricksandeberg8184]

The Honda cb125f with its 11 litre tank and consumption of 0,15 l/10km should get you a range of 700km or 435 miles. Ps. I wrote this comment before watching the entire video 😅 Ds.

[@boundlessone]

Ha ha... now you know my handle. Your bike is still at the top as far as economy goes unless you count 50cc bikes.

[@RogerBays]

Have to say it is astonishingly good. And will even run at 94kph on the flat with no luggage, 84kph with a giant holdall of camping gear strapped on. That's flat out.

[@superwag634]

It’s efficient for sure. But that’s all the fuel it needs when it makes no more than 10hp. But the question is, how long will the motor last if it’s running flat out all the time? 30,000km? 60,000km? I don’t know, but definitely less than a motor which is cruising at half of redline

[@joaotino2252]

for anyone ever gonna listen to me, a motorcycle in India called Splendor by Hero Motocorp can do 715 kms on a single fuel tank. But it isn't quick because it has a 97cc engine and is just a commuter bike

[@rollakid]

Honda 500's figure is conservative. If I stay off the highway, I easily get 3L/100km. Even more if I go real slow like 60kmh all the way. One time I go full tank to reserve and got 500km, that's about 40km per L, but damn it's boring going so slow, the scenery better be worth it.

Great video, Bob. In my years on bikes it seems that, unlike cars, manufacturers’ claims on fuel consumption can be bettered by a decent margin. My 1200GSA LC was capable of a real world 67mpg, my ATAS DCT ES a bit less and my KTM 890 over 70. It’s worth doing some real world testing to see what’s possible which might help in this anti-car/bike world where the eco zealots seem to rule the roost. Cheers, Ian

Having 125cc carb yamaha, 3l/100km on 70-80km/h. Don't believe injector and other optimizations can cut it to 1.5. To 2-2.5l / 100km more likely. upd. googled. that's right: people say 2-2.5l consumption IRL.
