Jon and Nobist: I hereby declare this thread officially closed. Drum roll, offstage sound effects, dimming of house lights...

For sheer eloquence and word count alone, these posts deserve to be preserved for prosperity. Who can compete? I throw down the gauntlet, take up the challenge if you dare!

I do apologise for my poor attempt to re-iterate and summarise; but here goes: 140km before the you see the light - WHO CARES??? Hasn't it been sublime? Haven't you broken nearly every road law/statute in your State/County/local shopping mall carpark? Don't you have a stupid grin on your face every time you ride, that proves you own a Tuono - the most irrational motorcycle?:dunno

You could be contrite and say: "With careful throttle management, I get 240km on a tank of fuel" BUT - that's not what the T is all about. I know I am preaching to the converted though, and as such, wasting my E-breath. :kicknuts You all know why you bought the Aprilia's evil spawn. And if you don't, you should sell yours and buy a maxi scooter: they get pretty good MPG, or so I hear.:zz

:rolleyesThere's NO WAY Johny will let that go. Next post will be like the bible.
 
Noblesse oblige, NoBeast! So it was in the beginning, so it's You in the end.

(Damn! Took the bait!)
 
My T is one thirsty mother she gets worse fuel milage then my car but its totaly worth it.
 
Couldn't help yourselves then! Off to the naughty corner for you, and no backchat.
 
MPG again !!!!!! oh no. This boyo's gonna be getting through some gallons this weekend at Brands oh yes in deedee.:thumbup:cheers
 
Yep its Aprilia being a bit conservative in when the light comes on. If i fill up when the light comes on the bike is lucky if it takes probably 14ltrs so bike still has 4 ltrs when the light comes on.

I have gotten to 134miles and then the bike took 17.5ltrs so was pretty dry like!
 
Your gonna upset Chunky. He wants to punish us.
Wonder what mpg I'll get with a tonne of camping gear ,a fat lad and his Be atch on ???. Fookin straightners and everythin.
 
My first ride out on my 06 T gave me 75 miles till the light came on. Used to get 40 out of the 636, but this bike is more fun, so I can live with that.
 
Nobist;

Since the T.'s a twin and you've already picked out the name, "Ollie"; since you are such a prolific contributor to the threads, your bike should have a middle name; one more than the rest of us casual blokes. How about, "Ollie Vera"? -Has a proper Latin ring to it and it will help you to remember to gastronomically sort things out when you go off on those evening binges when the wife & kiddies are away.

Off on me jollies now, see ya later.:thumbup

ps, keep Shvly occupied for a few days till I catch up with me mail.
 
Kinda figgers that nob would name his bike after a GUY instead of giving it a grrrlz name. The only other bikes with boys names that I know of are some owned by the ***** on Bikes that ride with me missus in the Women in the Wind club that she belongs to. Hmmm, fat old ******* riding a a bike named after a fat old *******. ewwwww... How come I just got a spew up in my mouth??
 
oot the day light came on at 84.5 miles, filled it to the neck,,,,,,, then the ****** thing come on at 80.1 miles,,,,,,, shat masel,,,,,, ah'm now under the impression ive got a hole in ma tank lol,,,,,,,, think ahll name mine after ma ex mrs, as its a greedy ******* lolol
 
Think I'll name mine 747, cos it's got the same turning circle as a jumbo. All standard 1200 mls on the clock, full tank of gas then 74 mls when fuel light is on, mind that was using the throttle like an on/off switch. Tried it again on Saterday, full tank dont exceed 6000rpm, steady away 112mls before fuel light.
*** it i'll pay for the extra fuel cos the ride was about as much fun as toothache.

Sean;

There's an old expression about, that a boat is a hole in the water where you pour money. Guess the T.'s tank needs to be factored in as one of the two major holes you insert yer precious earnings.

Chunky . . . the thread that will not die!
 
Be putting even more money in to our kick from today after the Fat Scottish Gimp put petrol up yet again. Currently £1.05 + a litre.
