4.47L/100km with 90% commuting [top box on].
I once managed to get 500km- 4L/100km out of a tank full with top box and panniers fully loaded on a trip [was really stressed on the last 50km leg in to the town].
The speedo's are usually about 10% off.
In other words, to travel at 80kph you can have the speedo showing 88kph- 90kph at 99kph showing- 100kph show 110kph on the speedo [very carefully checked multiple times on my GPS].
This is not exact on all Wee's but it seems very close to most.
I ride at 10% over everywhere except past fixed speed cameras, where I ride with the speedo showing the posted speed for the zone.
Although I have ridden past many police radar sites and mobile police radar cars I have never been stopped by the police.
Back to the fuel economy of the Wees, they are really good, with 22 litres on board they give a very useful touring range [I've gotta get off to stretch my legs long before the bike needs to stop :yikes: ].
Here is a useful link for doing your calculations.
