We only needed two stops...older large tank bikes.

The SD has a pretty big tank (a hair under five gallons), but DAMN that bike gets thirsty when ridden aggressively.  I've seen it get down into the high 20s a couple of times as far as "efficiency" is concerned.   [laugh]

After I've learned the roads better I will.  I've only been here for two and a half months, cut a brother some slack would ya?   ;D

morning Mike.

The only time any of my Ducs gets into the 20s is on the track.

I guess it depends on your riding style.

Yesterdays ride was fast paced, but it wasn't a lot of full throttle...just high speed.

Track riding usually means lots of throttle and both my Monster and the 996 use plenty of fuel with lots of throttle.

the 620 is a bit of a fuel miser

The people I know that have owned them reported high 50s with most riding, so I guess you're right.

Doesn't seem right that the car gets similar fuel economy though.  :P

On another note, I didn't realize a track real close to me allowed trackdays.
I thought it was private.
Thoughts for the spring now.

Mornig guys/gals,

my 620 gets about 80kms/gl ~ 50mpg ... if not used in city and lots of 'toll road' is used ... otherwise, about 70kms/gl ~ 43mpg ... or less ... on the highway avg is on full tank 190kms ~ 118mls, so that translates to 190kms/2.5gl = 76km/gl or 46mpg ... wierd uh?

Dog's still fighting, meds seem to be working, doc said give it 12hrs more for meds to fully have effect if not then ...

Already had a nice, strong cup of [coffee] and some eggs and [bacon] with toast ... No  [moto] today ...

Haven't been there yet.

ECS hosts a day in October, but the people I know that have done it were a bit concerned about track temps in the morning.

BTW I hear it's a great place.

the videos look good, plus I see even fast cars having to scrub off lots of speed for a lot of corners meaning a "slow" bike would do well there.
