there not bad at all on standard jetting you get about 65 miles before you hit reserve from a full tank then roughly a £10 on 2stroke every two months
if you used it daily..ine got a bit hot  for my liking after 30-40mins on dual carragways but some people have done serious miles on there dts no problems

 

 

even tho saying that  somehow my 600 seems to use less fuel than the 170 dtr lol

Ive done 600 miles since me and eg logic went to London for ace cafe filling up every few days. If I ride sensibly I can get some fairly few miles from 14 quid

I normally got 90-100 miles when I had to turn to reserve on a fully brimmed £16 odd tank.  If you sit with the throttle open everywhere like a hoon expect a lot less!

£10 gets me roughly 70 miles give or take before i need the reserve (which seems to get ****ing smaller and smaller everytime i use it!! pushed my bike far too many times!), which is pretty much flat out everywhere doing 300 miles a week

Don't want to do that mate. Once you get back on the road you wony want to do without!

And you'll need two stroke every couple of months. And it needs general servicing. Especially if you rag it.
