That's it.....the MT09 gets slated coz it has a small tank....so do other bikes....but it's nothing new really is it and this kinda proves that.
Sometimes in scotland or wales then we could maybe get caught short of fuel but generally speaking i don't see stopping for fuel all that bad a thing...nice to stretch the legs and stuff and i personally feel much more in control after just a brief on/off stop.
Wouldn't it be good if fuel tanks just had a clear window on them that you could look at....down by the crotch area or something.....prob not very cost effective and would no doubt be a weak spot but i dunno in this day & age is it beyond reasonable...........still wont get you home though even if you can see that you have no fuel. :rolleyes
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
