welcome to the forum fella...........

Tahitian blue is more like what you call a parrot

All talk and no flight.

(:-})

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 ?

Profile updated, thanks all.

Welcome aboard Matt good taste in colour and of course the red ones are the fastest

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

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.

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 ...........

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.
