the new 1125r's MGP says 35-54... FUCK... if they get that... with a 5.3gal tank... that's over 200 mile range... I think I just found my next bike... I'll give it another year and watch the forums closely for issues though.

By the time you're ready to buy they should be well sorted machines.

that's what I'm counting on... as it looks like they'll more than likely be the only affordable V-twin sport bikes left...

Keep saving for the Ducati.

the problem with the Duc is it's range sucks, and I can't see it being comfortable for more than a couple hours... the 1125r is more upright... and it's range is much better.

I put in 5 gal even, and I pushed it to the pump. 168 miles

when the fuel light comes on, you have 25 miles period... unless you are riding hard... then you have about 15.

that's one thing I'm hope'n gets sorted out... the buell website claims 35-54mph with a 5.3 gal tank and a .6 gal reserve... that's 200 even at 40mpg.

they seem to be right on with the Firebolt as far as mileage... just the 3.5 gal tank sucks.

I'd prefer not to drop under a 200 mile range on trips (in town I get 185 or so)
