No. Take a look at the usual chat in the megathread between Gid, Girth and Wideboy. If you were right about it being that, which I don't think it is(although I could be completely wrong here ...), then it wouldn't arrive via PM

Anyway.. Back on topic (yes I know; rich coming from me )

My curvey - 110-120 miles hard. Or about 150 tops when mildly ridden,
My bandit - 160 miles if pushed hard, usually about 200 miles, but have seen 223 miles with some juice still left in the tank.

If your doing 50 miles per day travelling, thats the difference between a fillup every 1.5 days, or every 2 days.

Put that over a month, you end up spending half your time in the petrol station. Bigger tank makes life much easier.

Both roughly ran about 50mpg in mixed town/motorway riding I think. Tank was smaller on the the SV, but the fuel economy was very similar.

For me it meant the difference between filling up ever 2.5, or every 4 days, even though the costs were the same overall.
