Gen 2, fully faired. All standard eg no Power Commander, or FCE. Standard can. 9500 miles. 3rd ride, bought 3 weeks ago.
I just did the sums, and was amazed to see that todays ride out resulted in 53mpg. 180 miles. This was rarely sticking to any speed limits (those signs never work anyway, I go straight past them and my bike doesn't slow down at all....lol), and not riding with any sort of economy in mind. I was riding with friends to the south coast and back, on dual carriageways, A & B roads, and having a blast. 53 mpg? I can live with that.
