Usually up myself around 5.30 so watch out for a red un.

Sounds like we could have a Staffs Storm out ............Whats the plural ? ......... Storms ?

That's pretty good. Some go empty in less than ninety if driven correctly :twisted:

Jeez I just noticed it's an early modal with 16l tank as well. Something is not right there. You either ride so slow that you may as well have a different bike, your running extremely lean, your gearing has been changed, or you have one of those magical mystery tour vtr's that change your odo over to KPH. :roll:

Hmmmmmmmmm ! Interesting, seeing as you can't ride the red ones slow I might need to look at the gearing, the higher gears do seem a bit tall.

The 127 miles to empty was done on a motorway early in the morning ( Private road obviously ) sitting between 90 -120MPH.

Ok I need to speed up ........... :lol:

As Carl says someone could have changed the gearing (without fitting a speedo healer or similar), worth checking.

Standard gearing is:- front sprocket 16 and rear 41 teeth.
