dReWpY · 06-03-2008, 10:49 PM

The buell is a little better. If I remember right, Drewp was in the mid 20's.

I'm getting mid 30's unless I play real hard.
The average MPG gauge tells me 29 mpg over the 2248 miles currently on it. And that's with a lot of idle time (warm up when like 10 degrees out) and all the break in time.

Everyone has an opinion on looks. I personally hate the look of all the Kawi's, and the new Honda's are iffy...

I've seen pics of one with full race fairings, really makes the pods blend in.

I'd really like to do a comparo of the RC vs the 1125. Could be interesting.

Other options are a used
Suzuki SV1K (lower performance and harder to find)
Honda Super Hawk

huh, just realized... can't think of any twins from Yami or Kawi??

Mr Lefty · 06-03-2008, 11:51 PM

yeah I'd like a mix between the Firebolt and 1125r...

the buell website says the firebolt should get 48 in the city... and 65 on the freeway! fuck!! Marko is that accurate?
