mark3evo Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 @madmattt The Melton TT B6047 ride is now 50mph over the whole of its section, still 50 or 60 no matter really no one sticks to 60 on a bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark3evo Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 I assumed they topped up tank otherwise how would they know the litres Gen1 will be worse when accurate Mileage is used rather than odometer reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the manual says about 3 liters left I wouldn't assume anything. This journalism seems to be very easy if you make assumptions....for example, they test ride a bike, and if you have never ridden one before, you have to take their word for it....then you buy and you wonder if you bought the same model . We know the gen 1 and 2 mileage is about 10% out.....the gen 3??? What was the gearing on the gen 1? Take it with a pinch of salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
