Nope, the Balkans are a small market for VW. China on the other hand ...

After bit of research my Triumph 800XC does 44.2 US mpg
and my previous bike the XT660Z did a 60 US mpg

To stay on topic: I've heard a little while ago in the news that US VW owners get compensated for this scandal but the EU customers do not. how and why is that?

My R1100RT only gets about 40mpg but I still love it!!

My first bike got 150 miles per gallon. Of course it was a 50cc Honda.

...can't get a gallon into mine

Sailor Steve · 07-21-16, 08:42 AM

Couldn't get a gallon into mine either. On the other hand I could fill it up for 10 cents. On the other other hand its top speed was around 30 miles per hour, and when I was carrying a friend on it, it wouldn't climb a hill, so we both got of and I idled it up the hill while we both walked beside it.

My first bike was the sporty SS50, the one with the 'go faster' stripe on the fuel tank
