When they claim I should be getting low 60s to high 50s, and I'm getting low to mid 40s, it pisses you off a bit. Then you realize, you could ride it like a granny and get those numbers. But, we all know that's no fun.
from what I've heard you can flog the shit out of it and get mid to high 40's for MPG...

on a 3.8 gal tank you should be getting 150 miles per tank if you got 40mpg... so 180 Kms seems a bit low...

if you get under 150 MILES per tank... then fuck it... that tank is too small for my type of riding... I hate having to stop every damn hour and a half. and hate to always have to plan where i'm gonna be so I can stop and get gas...

the 1125R has a 5gal tank and should get mid 40's according to some people with the new fueling fixes... so that's 200 miles per tank...
