Stopped at a gas station to fill the gas tank since I had 156 miles on it since the last time I filled up. Took 1.86 gallons to fill.

This is on my 750 twin, and I had been riding in fuel economy mode, but I was still astounded.

Forget the 1100, at $4.00 a gallon I'll keep riding the 750 twin :)

83.87 mpg, now that's fuel squeezing! :D

Dayum! That makes a Ninja 250 look like a gas guzzler. :huh:

I was sitting here drying off after getting caught in a thunderstorm on the way home after doing a job when I saw your PM and replied.

Someone about 1/2 mile down the road bought the bike, saw it sitting outside on my way in this morning.
