I know this has been asked many times

Iam 56 ( age related?) and i need to pee after about 90 miles, i fill up then ( not wet me leathers yet)

[Firestormerz]

Lol...In all honesty I like to stretch a bit after 60-70 miles anyway, the Storm riding position is more aggressive than my daily ride so will welcome a break I should imagine. Swore my sports bike days were over at 51 but then I found the storm, test rode it and that was it

[AMCQ46]

I got 107miles and put 12.5l in twice today and the light hadn't yet come on.... That s a new record for me, but I have fitted new pipes and fiddled with the jetting and it's also running the best it ever has.


Today's ride involved a fair amount of full throttle but not much commuting .... And it was all age relegated as well.. No mater how old I get I still ride like I am 16

But do you pee in ya leathers?

[AMCQ46]

That is a good point, BTT I had 3 fuel stops put stopped for a piss at the roadside a few extra times .... Leathers are still dry

My ability is 100%, riding, if only i could see with a tad of peripheral vision, and if MOTOGP did toilet stops, then id be in there, on the Storm.
Why didn't i buy one in 97! when they came out? i could see and hold a pee then!

With London stop and go traffic, especially if short journeys fuel consumption will be bad. It does save quite a surprising bit just by flicking the kill switch waiting at traffic lights. I have waited at some lights for what feels like 5 mins. Drives me nuts it does. Around town 80 ish mile per tank - out on an open road and faster speeds it seems to be more economic and get more MPG.

who cares really, they are bloody good fun!

+1 if you want mpg get a c90

The 07 Tuono is thirstier than the Storm.

To me fuel consumption is irrelevant if I'm having fun.

My 2000 model on a good highway run tank to tank at a pretty constant 4,000rpm I get 18km/l
My 40km rural commute with 2 cold starts and some town running I get 15km/l
On a weekend blast its been as low as 13.5km/l

K & N Air Filter 48 pilots and 180/185 (Dynojet stage 1) blowing through CF Delkavics and stock gearing.

Interestingly enough the figures are pretty close to the same from my Bandit 1250S with very similar output but carrying an extra 50kg

With bikes of any description there is no across the board average.
