How the hell do you get 60 mpg out of your Gen1 :| Most I've ever got is low 50's!! My average is mid-40s :'(

Smoothness is the key - carrying speed and energy for as long as possible into corners, no sudden acceleration or braking, a scottoiler helps and I'm running the tyres at 2psi over standard (according to my gauge).
if I'm out with the wife and shes on her VT750, then I'll easily get into the 70's.
This is a standard bike (apart from a Viper can).
