I have kept track of mileage and amount of fuel burned. Last fill was at 360 miles and forced in a full gallon (actually over-flowed a bit). Today at 441 miles another even gallon, but not completely to filler neck.
So
1 gallon plus about 1/16 (8oz / 0.062 gal) = 1.062 gal
81 miles divided by 1.062 gal = 76 MPG
First 7 tanks were 0.66, 0.88, 0.98, 1.1, 0.94, 1.0, and 1.0 (today) = 6.56 gal
So about 67 MPG over first 440 miles. Still beats car by far ;~)

Fuelly.com will also do this for ya, automagically. ;)

I have 5500 km on my bike and have tracked every fill up. At best I get 76mpg. The odometer is in kilometers not miles. I usually get about 120km per gallon/fill up. Not to insult you but are your units correct.
When people post milage figures WAY over what I get on the same bike I have to ask. How do you ride if you get that milage?? Down hill at 20mph with the wind behind you? :) :) both ways.
-
As far as getting these crazy numbers, there is a good example on the SYM brochure pages which give a possible MPG along with a how to get that at a steady speed of usually around 30MPH or so. I got crazy MPG when I got lost in an area that had 25-35MPH speed limits for a long period of riding. If you ride it like a 49cc, it is possible to get these numbers. WOT, probably not.

I avoid going up hills, no WOT, accelerate very smoothly, roll completely off throttle when knowing stop is eminent, don't idle for over two min, and don't stop at the optional stop signs (ones with white borders).
First and last are jokes...
I have kept track of all fueling and ODO milage can not lie. Originally thought I would be getting between 70-80 MPG. At 97 over the 700 mile course I am doing very well.

The odometer is in kilometers not miles.

mine is like 55mpg or 4,3 l/100km,,,,,,
damn that pedal to the metal.......need quickshift.....
-
If km then that explains it. Took sales staff's word that it was calibrated to miles. Some sales people are F.O.S. They basically told me "that by law in US all imports must have odometers calibrated to our standard". With adjustments I'm at 65 MPG overall and still happy :) .
Original opening post updated...
Thanks for the correction.

65MPG on an Agility 125? I wouldn't be happy with that. I get pretty close to that, average, on my 2007 People 250. New Fuelly.com says my recent average is 60.1MPG (mileage always goes up in summer on this bike).

I have had my Agility 125 for 6 weeks now. Back and forth to work at 30-35mph with light acceleration is the normal for me.
I have been upwards of 110mpg for the last 3 fill-ups. The first 2 were in the 70-80mpg, but probably due to the amount of practicing and letting friends ride it after purchase? I can't get over this amazing little machine!
Its really putting my 11mpg trailblazer SS to shame!
-
I think you are making the same mistake I was. My Agility bought here in the US has it's speedo calibrated to Kilometers and not miles :~(
Multiply the Km's by 0.62 to get miles.
I am right around 70 MPG average now. Good enough for me.
-
I know the odometer is in km. I convert everything at fill up. I weigh 150lbs, I'm easy on the throttle and don't hit more than 2 stop signs between home and work.
My math isn't bad and I've verified on fuelly.com. The website actually put me about 10mpg more than what I figured. My last 1gallon fill up actually got me 136.7mpg.
-
Same weight as you and ride in a subdued fashion. There is no way in any kind of riding you will get better than 90 MPG with the Agility 125. As stated I initially thought it was around 110 MPG before the km calibration of speedo was pointed out. Now my 70 average tank MPG is realistic. Recheck you computations and you will see altered results.
Your stated first tank milage if multiplied by 0.62 (conversion factor to miles) yields 84.8 MPG which is possible.

I get 80 -85 mpg on my new (only 500 miles) Agility 125. This is all city, stop and go, driving where I seldom go over 40 mph. I don't do full throttle acceleration very often but I don't baby it either. I also use ethanol free gas.

That ethanol free gas make a big difference. Wish we could get that here in Chicagoland.

Got my new scoot this week, I pulled in for gas as soon as the fuel guage touched the red block. Knowing it only holds 1.3 gallons I didn't know how far into the red is really empty. Well it only took .88 gallons at 130km; that works out to 91 MPG. Count me impressed.

Hey guys, new to forum. I have had my 125 about a month now. I agree with 70-75 mpg also. Great little scooter. Only complaint is the metric speedo.
