[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 175628, member: 302"] Not wanting to appear unhelpful, but I really don't have a clue, it is so dependant on how and where I am riding, I would guess that if I am riding sensibly (two up), on flatfish terrain with minimal traffic, I would expect to get at least 50mpg, but that can be reduced quite easily. At the slightest inkling that I am low on fuel, and without an indication that a filling station is within reach, I cut the speed right back to 30mph max, and just get the engine ticking over in the highest gear possible, oh yes, and I keep my fingers well and truly crossed, I am under the threat of death should I ever have to resort to pushing it to the nearest filling station again, last time I did this was on the hottest day of the year! I forgot to say, in economy mode I recon 70mpg is possible, but that is only a guess, and very boring! [/QUOTE]
