Getting the best mileage
The quickest wins for the CB1000 Hornet: keep tyres at the recommended pressure (under-inflation by 5 psi can cost 2–3 kmpl), shift up early, use Eco mode in traffic and avoid idling at long signals.
Short trips hurt most. A cold engine on a 2 km run can return half its normal mileage; if that is your use, expect the low end of the real-world band.
Service on time. A clogged air filter or old spark plug shows up in mileage before it shows up anywhere else.

CB1000 Hornet mileage: questions people ask

- This is not stated in the available data, but a high-output 999cc inline-four of this type typically expects higher-octane premium fuel for correct performance, so factor that into running costs.
