Curvy mpg record possible?

Hi all,

I wander have I achieved the best fuel economy from an sv on this forum?

Basically, I picked up a friend from exeter who wanted to be dropped off at liskard to pick up a "new" car. However, he has not been a pillion before so I took it very very easy. Went through a few twisties and onto dual carriageway. Then when he filled up his car (with diesel) I filled up the sv (with optimax since he was paying :)) and the trip meter showed 90 miles.

Typically I get 120-140 miles to a tank and I ride quite quickly. However, at the pump I used 6 litres of fuel for 90 miles.

That is 68.2 mpg!! I wander how many '99 SV650Ss could still do that.

Congratulations...I think...

I won't be touching that record any time soon.
I find riding more enjoyable when I use as much fuel as possible as opposed to using less.
