[ST] 1050 Sprint...

[filgen19@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dave,
Two weeks ago I picked up a 1050 Sprint ST.  I too was worried about 
gas mileage, espescially since my '05 Speed Triple is averaging about 
33mpg.  But I was really surprised when I kept returning 43-45 mpg.  
Not only that but then I had the factory race can fitted, and it seemed 
to stay at a steady 45mpg!  This is in all types of conditions from 
freeway slabbing to curves, to city commuting...
On another note, Steve I hope your okay.  Rest up.  I wonder if it's 
your blue sprint I always see near the Chelsea piers?

Cheers,
Filippo

Bruce,

At least you will probably get acceptable fuel mileage.
 That is the only thing I am leery about re: the 1050
engine.  I would hate to buy a bike that gets less per
gal. than my cage.  I like the 48-50+ mpg (US Gal)on my
Sprint ST and didn't like the mileage figures on the 1050
engine from the press .

Haven't heard anything on this from the 1050 owners on the
list regarding fuel mileage in real world conditions......
 How about some feedback from you luchy ones with the new
engine, please....

Dave Bardell
