I had a run up the Oxley on my CB400 with a mate on his GSXR-1000. I kept up in the very tight stuff and obviously had no hope when the road opened up a bit.

Anyway, the point is that I used more fuel than he did for the exact distance. I think I used about 1L more fuel for the same bit of road. (13 vs 12 or something like that, I don't remember the details). Where he could just gently roll on the throttle I needed to be at WOT to have any chance of keeping up. That bike taught me a lot about cornering smoothly and quickly.
