Hi everybody, I will upgrade my transalp to a new vfr800x this week. But fuel economy bothers me much. So here is the question. Can anyone tell me the top speed at 6th gear without vtec activation? Thank you very much.

Around 95-98mph.
Welcome to the site.

Economy is certainly not the CRs strongest point and it will remain a weakness until Honda finally retire the current V4. A look at the competition such as the Triumph Tiger 800 shows that significantly better economy is possible. I would love to think that Honda will be able to replace it with another V4, but I am not hopeful. In-line engines are cheaper to design and build and can be scaled up or down in capacity to make a range of bikes.
Enjoy your V4 while you can, it has a unique character that IMHO more than compensates for its thirst; but market pressures may require Honda to replace it with a more frugal and economic unit whose blandness will kill the VFR soul.

I regularly see 55 mpg when riding normally, ie how I would ride any bike. Cant see that as a problem, and I dont hang about either

Really? I'm lucky to see 46-47mpg on my A1 commute.
Managed 9.6 miles/litre (44mpg) this morning.

I get 340kms out of a tank sitting on 120kph highways. Thats one of the main points why I bought it.
Vtec cuts in about 5500rpm which is about 130kph 6th giving you plenty on tap to round up traffic solo. Sitting on 130-140kph and giving good bursts to round up road trains in the NT cuts my range to about 290kms.

My post relates to 6th gear no downshifting. Stock gearing. Hope this helps.
