I wanted to see just how efficiently a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R can be ridden when you completely ignore its designed use case and drive it like a car. Motorcylce is all factory state, no modifications.

avg fuel consumption at the end was 3.2l / 100km

data from Kawasaki rideology app

Distance: 179 km
Ride time: ~3 h 28 min
Average speed: 54.1 km/h
Median speed: 62 km/h
Average RPM: ~4,218 rpm
Median RPM: ~4,389 rpm
Maximum RPM: 6,661 rpm
Maximum speed: 84 km/h
Time in 6th gear: ~34%
Mean piston speed at average RPM: ~5.5 m/s

3.3l average over a 220km backroads trip, amazing what you can do when you hypermile and drive relaxed

In city driving my average is 6l per 100km
