The 200 Club!

I can't be the only one who thought you meant the other 200 Club when I saw the thread title.

On an SV? I'd like to see that!

200 miles for less than 13 litres of fuel; that's 70mpg!

But the SV holds 17 litres, thats 3.74 gallons, 200/3.74 = 53.5 mpg

The best I ever got was 187 miles and that was whilst I was running the bike in and limited to 5500 revs. It ran dry ticking over whilst I was opening the garage door to put it away. Nowadays its more like 140-150 miles, but it gets a much harder time.

I guess that 200 or slightly over is not impossible if you fill to the brim off the sidestand and run dry, paying particular attention to the economy whilst riding.

ah, but it only took 12.6 litres of fuel when I went to fill it up at 195 miles

Conversely I've had the light on at 85

I've done 3 trips to reading and back to newport and got about 110 miles to the fuel light which is 4.5 litres left. so that's 110/12.3 = 39 mpg thats doing 7,000 rpm all the way there as i'm bloody restricted. That works out at about 140 miles to a tank.
