....as per the subject. :)

I have just cained the full tank (for the very first time) after 60 miles on my '99 R1 but then I have been spanking it about. Is this normal? and do you guys get similar results on 1999 R1's?

Thanks - Sunny.

255 miles has been the furthest I have been on one tank before the fuel light came on, 2005 bike and I was still running it in. trip was from Perth in Scotland to Newcastle in England. The light came on as I rolled off the ferry in Amsterdam. I was averaging about 56mpg (imperial gallon :) )

I have an 04, lightly modded, usually fill up around 230 miles going back and forth to work, I can get about 250 on the freeway. Even canyon riding I can get 200 miles.

318 miles per tankfull, but I use a vortex inducing turboprop airbox fan and 7th gear overdrive, in conjunction with nitrogen filled slicks :yesnod

Is this the 08 version:lol :lol

I'm lucky to get 115 before the friendly little orange light comes on. Aside from keeping a light throttle hand, are there any cheap mods to get bnetter milage? different gas maybe? (use super now)
