But, it sucks ass for distance. It's a brilliant motorcycle, in fact my favorite off the entire fleet. But, between the thin seat [both meaning narrow and lack of padding] and small tank it just won't go any amount of distance reasonably.

There's a thing called "gas station".

Not in the mountains. And, if they are there - most are not open 24-hours. Ask me how I know

I coasted in... with a few miles left on the ticker. THAT station was open. All the others, were not. Including each station we stopped at before.

1200s seat is much better but neither are great. Replacing them is preferred. What the fuck is this thread about anymore? It's a silly magazine ranking, it doesn't change a damn thing except makes people pissy for some reason.

I was just reading the magazine on my way home from Boston and thought I would type up the "winners." The article was a good read.

from most of the people I've heard from (only two in person... the rest on forums) they're getting between 50-70mpg (yeah not sure I believe the 70mpg either) |
