You remember mate..............That was that day I followed you Mike

Did I say followed.......thats a bit polite.........I think 'held up' was used by most of the group

Love to mate, always a pleasure riding with you. It was a great day

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

Jag/Pete

Was/is yours standard in setup

Yes JP mine was completely standard (apart from Evo cans).
Brilliant, brilliant machine. Dropped in a low speed slide and ins wrote it off.

MIne was std with the mpg I gave you.
Now it's got a pipe and power commander it can use a little more fuel when it wants too

Just need to ride the thing now...

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

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

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