Hey Hey

After my first week of riding: lots of hacking up and down motorways, a fair amount of town work and a few country roads, I have been anal enough to record milages per tank of fuel and work out that I'm getting about 165 miles to the tank and therefore about 50-60 miles to the gallon. Since this is my first 'proper' bike (a Vespa hardly compares somehow!), let alone an SV, I am not completely up to speed about a great deal of things technical with my new baby. Is this fuel economy good, bad or different to other peoples' experience? Any comments would be greatfully received....
