Normal-for-us riding, how many miles are you going between fill-ups?

I've been filling up at 160 to 185 mikes or so... if I remember correctly.
Lee what say you?

Thanks- that's still a good step up from the Bandit and the SV1000, which can flirt with 40mpg but still need to stop 'way too often.

You can get a low mile 2015 with lots of accessories for $8,000. It's a Fantastic bike... especially when you consider the price.

I'm a bike or two too heavy as it is, but hey- at least I'm looking.
Reading about your suspension upgrades, and seeing Cogent's new shock for the bike will probably mean getting used instead of new.
Still have to sell a lot of cruises to get there, but am going in the right direction.

hmm http://fj-09.org/thread/1254/proof-damn-pudding-dyno-resultsPerformance-wise, it's in the same ballpark as my SV1000 or a bit behind- although the longer suspension travel is a huge net positive. I'll have to keep one of the bigger bikes, though

Yeah, you will definitely enjoy the longer shock travel. Sell the Sportster.

The Sportser is Lynn's.
Of the bikes I have now, the Hayabusa is the most liquid asset... would miss owning it, though!
