I took a bit of a joyride today to test the bike's freeway handling and to get a mpg number, I had started riding it to work, but it has been raining the past few days, and I didn't want to arrive with a wet backside. so, rode to work twice @ 15mi each way, and rode around a bit, totaling 91mi and using 1.02gal. That's 89.2 mpg!! looks like with a little tuning and polishing, I should be able to break 100mpg, especially if it's all one ride with no cold starts. as for freeway, I may need to play around with some weights at the front end. it was just a little squirrely at 70mph, and a little scary at 80. if previous challenges are a good marker, I will need every last ounce of speed that the sr185 possesses to keep up with the pack, so I want to make sure I can safely manage the bike at WFOT. maybe I can add some battery capacity to the front fairing??
