ha I had this very convo a while back

mine was struggling to get 60 miles before reserve, but I was only doing stop start trips through town to college and furious ride outs where I wasnt shifting til 13k in every gear.

thought their was a major problem but then rode to silverstone, and did 130 miles before hitting reserve (stayed in 6th all way their and never went over 9k)

time before last I filled up i worked out it did an average of 27mpg, today it was 33mpg, that silverstone trip was 54mpg

just shows its all how you ride it

although I know my bike is very rich

Just fwiw you can use google to easily calculate MPG rather than get the calculator, for example you can see how bad the RC24 is when given a minor spanking...

Or on economy mode.

Or more a 400 sized consumption

PS last run out the RC24 was a tiny smidge better than the NC35!

My 43mpg sounds good then, but I sometimes forget, and change up before 13,000rpm by mistake. :-)
