ref - gen2 fuel consumption. Well if you do keep the revs down, a stock gen2 will probably get similar mpg to a gen1, but its a very revvy engine, all the power is stacked at the very topend of the rev range ( u need 7k to start to access it)...so if you start using it that consumption will soar. I had one, had 45 mpg bimbling along , maybe 35 if I used it hard. Thats how the gen1 scores cos of its mid range torque you dont have to cane it to make very swift progress= good mpg. Use both hard and consumption will be similar.
On last years euro tour with Dek ( on his gen2), when we filled up we used one pump, and similar fuel amounts were going into each bike , and as we were riding together , we were doing similar speeds.
Ultimately the combo of revvy engine, and small fuel tank is the gen2s achilles heel.
