fuel range/ opinion

Just back a nice little ride. It did the sputter to me at 93km. Flipping to reserve is a biatch with winter gloves on. Filled up and it took 1.25 gallons - 55mpg US. Not bad for the second full tank run through it.
I do expect better though. I am not sure if it has a 2.1 gallon like they claim, I was expecting much farther. It does match the spot where I died last nite though. More like 1.5 gallons at this point.

Topped out at a super speed of 110km / 68mph. The sweet spot is around 60mph though because you just don't gain that much more by running 95% throttle.

Light weight bike in a crosswind, wowzer does it float around. Plus the added benefit of wet roads (50 degrees and light rain today).

Mirrors suck... are the chinese actually the size of a 6th grader?

I switched grips up to touring grips, much better than those dinky pencil sized originals.

I have added on a multi function gizmo for battery charge and what not http://tinyurl.com/vtpzd worked very well.

This bike will be a good trail bike and running around/ commuter. I will however do 1 long ride on it.

"I will however do 1 long ride on it."

And exactly which ride would that be?

I am considering the Bun Burner 1500 at this point. 1500 miles in 36 hours

What tooth sprockets did it come with? I know mine has a 46 rear and runs over 70 with my fat butt.

I've got the 42T on it now. It came with a 56
