I don't think there's anything wrong with my bike only doing 70/80 miles to a tankfull, it's simply down to the way I'm riding it. It's only been on the road for a few weeks and I haven't been near a dual carriageway or any sort of "sensible" roads. I built the bike for rallying so all I've done with it is test it on the roads I'll be competing on, single track twisty lanes. Incidentally I've also destroyed two rear tyres....in 450 miles. This is going to be one good bike.
