tank range
« on: May 29, 2016, 06:13:56 »
Went a run yesterday, two up, took it easy as wife's back was bad, never over 70mph really.  Got 221 miles on the main tank before the last bar and the count down. Average mpg says 63, 8.   246 miles and still 24 miles left on the count down.  Impressive for a big bike, that's better than my triumph tiger800 ever did.
But that said it'll probably be half that next week as of to the TT!!

Enjoy the TT, you lucky devil!

Was in the IOM a couple of weeks ago. My fuel consumption on my Tracer went from a normal of about 55mpg to low 40's........ :auto-dirtbike: :auto-dirtbike: :auto-dirtbike: was really good fun though :lala:

I'm expecting mid 30's over there.   My last  big v twin (a firestorm) only done 22mpg at the TT but that was almost 20 years ago. I was young free and single then, full head of hair, all my own teeth and could sit down stand up without making a noise. lol
