My SP1 was noticeably better on fuel than my Storm.

Mine Too.
Best MPG about 46 on the road
worst a bit less than 30 on track.

120- 140 to the tank on average, depending on the type of ride. Less than 90 on track

My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal

Like I said Mike, I did'nt buy it with the intention of having 130+ to the tank :) I don't think I've had a bike in the last 4 that'd do that anyway-it's just interesting to hear what people have to say :thumbup:

I'm really looking forward to getting out-chance would be a fine think :( :lol:

It really needs a wash/polish-even getting it back on the trailer the other week has left salt traces on the alloy parts :evil: Might get the chance this weekend-looks to be thawing slightly here now :thumbup:
