I had forgotten an important fact: gas down here is a 25% alcohol mix now. And different parts of the world getting different mixes with different additives will make comparisons pretty meaningless. Anyway, I don't worry - I sure didn't buy a Blackbird for economy! Cheers. |

I'm just cruising along freeway to/from work @~110-120km/h & get 310-320km to warning. Usually put in ~18 - 18.5L at about 320km.

, the farthest I've stretched it was about 230 miles. I wanted to see just how far she would go, & that was on a group ride where we did over 100mph a few times.

yeah even at 180 miles with the light on, I rarely put much more than about 4.5 gallons in, and I believe the tank is 5.8?? so there's a good amount left in there yet if it ever came down to having to use it. do you remember how much you put in the tank at 230 miles? |

Bike now 3000 Klms old and using BP Ultimate exclusively ! Getting constant 320 - 330 Klms before red LED flash. Which equates to about 18 Klms per Litre (About 18 L, that's what I'm putting in tank at fill-up) ! Commuting only at the moment.
