My '02 S4 916 was running around 36mpg when I ran the numbers, I thought it was thirsty but I thiink that's normal actually. I think a good Dynojet map will make it richer low down so if you potter about at low revs you'll probably burn more fuel. V twins are not really economical compared to other big bikes, they can't be and an 1100 is going to be thirstier than a 916?

Is anybody getting more than mid 30's from an old school big twin?
