Searched the forum and found no solid information, so please forgive me if this has been beaten to death previously.

What sort of gas mileage should I expect with a low-mileage stock BV 350 that's been properly broken in? I weigh 190 lbs.

For 350 owners: What mileage do you get?

Thanks in advance!

I get 60-65 mpg.

Mine did 75-85 mpg uk gallons .
That's about 60-65 mpg us gallons . So same as above

Looks like I'm pretty much in line with the '17. First fuel up today; 2.58 gallons burned over 170 miles for 66.1 mpg.

Per our earlier discussion, I get between 55 & 60 mpg.

So there are only three other BV 350 owners here that know their gas mileage?

C'mon...

see signature. or, just check on fuelly.

I use US 87 oct , btw.

Unfortunately when accessing the site via cell phone (which I do 99% of the time) it doesn't display signatures, so I would have never guessed.

I averaged 55 - 58.

gotcha. i'm at 57, 50% highway miles. highway miles destroys MPGs on this scoot.

Love my BV350.
Never have checked mileage, not least because it's such a PITA to fill the tank. I would only trust a many-tank average and just don't care enough to check.
It's nice to read that the average BV seems to get 50-70MPG. That's reasonable if not something to write home about.

I was pleasantly surprised with 66.1 mpg on mine.

Best to average several tanks to verify the level of happiness you're enjoying.
I can understand higher than average mileage if you ride slowly with few stops. Aero drag is high in scoot's, and speed had a large bearing on MPG's.
Enjoy the BV! I love riding mine fast in corners and at the speed limit +8 on the straights (corrected for speedometer error).

50 53, it is overstated in advertising.

My first two tanks were burned ballpark 85% on secondary highways at 50-65 mph. Color me happy.

That sounds about right at that speed.

I generally got around 65 mpg give or take with a BV350. What is surprising is that I get about the same with a GTS, an MP3 250, and no more than 70 mpg on an LX150. In other words, about the same mileage with most all the Piaggio scooters I have owned.

That is interesting indeed!
I have a Buddy 170i that gets ~100MPG regularly. This is as good as a Honda Elite 80 I once had. The surprising bit is that the Buddy is much more powerful and ridden at higher speeds and still gets this great mileage.
Love my scoot's!

I get about 59-60 mpg.

60 - 65 mpg, about 30 - 40% highway
