The rising cost of fuel has certainly hit the headlines over the last year or so, with drivers even having to spend more than £100 to fill up a tank at the peak of the crisis. But it isn’t just car users it has affected, as bikers have also had to think of ways they can cut down on their fuel to save cash. 

One of the most sensible things to do is buy a fuel-efficient motorcycle, as this will guarantee you can travel further on less petrol or diesel. 

According to Bennetts, one of the leading bikes when it comes to fuel efficiency is the Honda CB125F. Described as a “class leader” in this category, it has fuel capacity of 11 litres, a range of 336 miles, power of 10.7bhp and a 124cc engine. 

As it is available for just over £3,000, it is also a good choice for first-time riders who don’t want to spend too much on their motorcycle as well as their fuel. 

Another good choice is the Honda CB500X, which has a range of 308 miles. It has an engine size of 471cc, power of 47bhp, and a fuel capacity of 17.7 litres, but is more expensive at £6,699. 

In addition to purchasing a fuel-efficient bike, it is worth adapting riding styles to use less energy on the road. For instance, bikers could minimise the amount of accessories on the vehicle, keep the engine clean, avoid quick braking and speedy acceleration, and ensure tyres are inflated. 

These are great tips for those who have undertaken motorbike training in London, as they will know how to save money on their fuel when they get their licence.
