    If you enjoyed the ride, then why class it as "wasted fuel"?

    200 miles generally.....red light comes on at about 168 and about 32 get me home miles after that....doing a steady fifty five with only me on it which is extremely rare once got 205 then filled up because I didn't want to end up pushing it....

    The R1200RT was much better....ridden steady it would do fifty to sixty to the gallon and was so much more comfortable... sigh.......but then most of my riding is two up.
