I've done over 300 miles now, and calculated from the last fill up it is giving me an amazing 60.9 mpg, which means a full tank should give me the best part of 180 miles
(although I wouldn't wait that long before filling!).
This may of course be a reflection of my riding
but I don't think I have ridden too much like a 'granny'
, I had done 120 miles when I filled up and only put 8.98litres in the tank (no fuel light had come on, I was doing a longish run and didn't want to have to stop to fuel).
The bike has had a varied running in - which has consisted of dual carriageways, town (stop/start), lots of country lanes, hills and bends. I've been up and down the range of recommended rpms apart from the first trip where I totally forgot I was supposed to be being careful and went a tad faster than I should have ..
I'm very pleased as I hadn't expected it to be as much
