range

Ditto on the 125-128 but you can stretch it by being stingy on the take offs and when you run up through the gears, shift early and come up to speed slowly, coast up to stops with engine idling...
However, all that usually only results in maybe another 7-10 miles increase in range....philosophically, ***, just ride the bike like you want to and remember
Thrills=low mileage....lol.....but the soul sometimes needs those thrills....and if you pro-rate the "thrill" factor with todays gas prices, each "thrill" costs you approximately $.97....bottom line= just ride her like you want to, when she goes on reserve, gas her up and go again, life is far too short to worry about your range, you are on a magnificent bike, the air is fresh, the feeling of something exciting between your legs, just try wiping that smile off your face.....
