First ride on my KTM 390 Adventure: Fuel economy figures worth sharing

I was riding the motorcycle in different ways. I kept a steady pace and gave smooth throttle inputs and I also pushed a bit, reaching speeds up to 120 km/h.

BHPian mp417 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Just finished my first ride recently and had a fantastic time exploring the handling and comfort!

Got some surprising fuel efficiency (FE) numbers worth sharing:

  • On the outbound ride, I kept a steady pace between 60-80 km/h with smooth throttle inputs, and achieved 43 km/l.
  • On the return, I pushed the pace a bit, reaching speeds up to 120 km/h and experimenting with different RPM ranges. This brought the average FE down to 38.3 km/l.

Has anyone seen such numbers?
