 >What kind of mileage does your 05 get now ?

John

It depends on the type of riding but it varies widely.
 
On the highway I can get as much as 450 - 500kms to dead empty.
 
Commuting and poodling about around town typically gets about 250kms to reserve. 300kms is best result so far but that was an experiment to see if I could stretch it. The "smiles per mile" ratio suffered badly that time around. 
 
I've found that in stop/start traffic it really sucks the fuel. The worst ever has been 200kms to reserve when I spent a week commuting in peak hour traffic. 
 
Being a shift worker and out of sync with the rest of society can have its benefits.
 
I'll be doing a track day towards the end of winter, so the results from that will be interesting.
 
Brett.
