Kawasaki's fuel milege is released
It is on their web site, the connie comes in at 36 mpg, I believe. At least it is one better than the zx-14!
I guess they are really pushing numbers to sell more bikes, but they should reprogram all of the concours to read real mileage, 36 sounds closer to real than my indicated 45!

37.7 US mpg over the last year and 22K miles.
Temps seems to have a major affect. I'm running flies out, areap, pc3 with economy map. Up until the last ride, temps have been in the upper 70's/80's overall. Last ride temps were in the 60's. MPG dropped a good 2-3 points (from 39/40) to ~37-38. (Chicago, sea level mostly).
FBA, are you in a higher elevation?

Hi, I put an areap on and live at 5000 ft. Have noticed better fuel mileage,around 45mph when I'm nice. 41mph over 3500 mile trip with lots of wind and cold.

dam I am lucky to get 30 mpg out of my ZX12.....lol
Guess I need to go back to stock gearing, and detune the bike a little bit......at 150 miles on a tank you had best be at a gas station

When in doubt, lean farther and go faster....
