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

Come on... the 800 will go 250! that's more than long enough for 90% of the trips most would take. and an extra 2 gal or shit even 1 gal take will put you over the 300 mark.

as far as the seat... even the 1200 needs work there...

200 per tank real riding

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.

The MOTY competition at motorcyclist is just the latest and greatest sportbike.

Every time.

I would bet dollars to donuts that Sport Rider will have the same result.
