3500 kilometres and runs at 5 litres/ 100 kilometers, see Gerry's conversions above for miles and gallons. I have had no problems with the bike. There is gearbox noise but I'm told that this is normal with Triumph and is better once bedded in.

Hmm....between July 2005 and Sept 06 I did around 9000 miles. I was just getting into the swing of things, and had had problems with the alarm and the air box exploding and then someone got in the way.

Then I picked up the 06 on the 17th November. Since then I have done 4265 miles and had problems with the tip over valve and the airbox explode (not my fault it was while the dealer was investigating). But since the valve was sorted I've had no further problems.

But then last week the 03 was back on the road and she's now done 4 miles... I have to wait for the insurance to come through... they were the miles to the mot centre and back!

I'm not a great one for miles per gallon I just know that I get anywhere between 120 - 150 miles before going on to reserve. It depends. Round the city is nearer 120 on a motorway run nearer the 150.

05' Speedmaster,she has 33,000 miles now.She's due for valve adjustment.I may just check them myself.Last time I did it at 12,000 miles and four needed to be adjusted.Valve train has always seemed noisey to me,but I believe it's the nature of the beast.Great bikes!

Last Saturday I looked at my odo & it read 9,876.5.. Thought that was funny, but didn't hink of taking a pic. So far, the only issue I had was a mis-aligned shift rod that was fixed under warranty. Well the second problem is the stock Bridgestones that I had to toss at 5k miles!!

I usually hit reserve at 150 miles. If I go on a long gentle cruise, that might push up to 165 miles or so.
