Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
Well I did 89 miles today then filled up 10.86 litres, so just over a litre left. I probably could get it to 100 miles if I really wanted to. Risky though

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
I can't really say anything to that lol. It is actually impressive the mpg the newer sv's get. It's not as if you ride slow.
Although, I have a bad habit of revving it right to the red line just to hear the awesome noise at higher revs, then the exhaust pops when I change up. It's addictive

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
The old ones aren't bad actually. I regularly see over 180 miles before the light flashes and I've had over 200 miles before filling up. I do really brim the tank when I fill up, rocking the bike gently while trickling the last litre or so of fuel in. I'm not particularly cautious with the throttle either although I do tend to change up through the gears at around 6-7k.

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
we come to the conclusion at the GM that its due to me being so small that i get lower wind restriction, the other one was that i dont brake much

Re: The All new Reeder Megathread
When I try to brim the tank on the dorso it doesn't like it and spits it on the floor
