as i said, mine currently does 110kph (approx 70mph) at 4,500rpm. Getting it to around 4,000 would be nice. There is some hilly country here, but not overly steep. I only ride one up (my wife hates bikes) and i'm not a demon in the twisties, i take it relatively easy. At the moment i am getting 6 litres per 100 kilometres riding mostly highway with a little traffic. That equates to 1.5 gallons for 62 miles. Not too bad considering i am a big boy.
