just out of daftness i logged one of my last trips...........

had a run to Olivers Mount race meeting, Scarborough on the sb6r - travelled 227km's and used just over 10ltrs of fuel which equates to around 140miles by my reckoning
using 4.5ltr to a Gallon (UK) that equates to pretty much 60mpg - result Smile

I thought the idea was to get the lowest MPG you can ?
Must be doing it wrong Confused

i definately had a few of those..........

sounds daft but best bit was it was varied between rain & drizzling on the way home and this allowed me so much more confidence in the bike and its handling as never get much time to get to ride it........
