It's taken some finding but this could be the one you were referring to.  :popcorn: Over a 400 mile trip, this is what I averaged.





Yes, that is the photo that I was waiting for.....I  remember it well, even though it was a few years ago I think   :wink:

Interesting stuff. Being new to the bike I was wondering what to expect on economy and range (although if it was really a big issue I would have checked it out before buying the bike!)

I think I got 51.5mpg on my one and only ride so far which was largely motorway with a bit of East London congestion thrown in. That was keeping the revs under 5k for running in and I expect economy will improve as the engine loosens up a bit.

I used to be able to count on 160-180 out of a tank full when two-up touring on the GSX1400, do you think the GTR will match or better it?

I don't see why not.  I start looking for stations between 200-220 or so....when I'm not thrashing it.
