One of the cool things pgfpro accomplished (I think with a former 3-stage vtec civic and not his current talon) was a high cruising MPG under light load, while also getting lots more power in other situations. That's you? Or is 80 mpg a tank average?
Just making sure you know, the SV650SF is a motorcycle. 75 horsepower or so, 440 pounds, just a medium performance sport bike. The 80 MPG I quoted is a tank average. I do not have any other instrumentation at the moment, but someone does make a fuel economy computer for these bikes. It seems to want to hover around 75 MPG, higher requires 60 mph or slower on freeway/more back roads.

I still haven’t gotten the chance to run many tanks through it yet. More will come! I actually just finished up shortening a stock exhaust and swapped that for the Yoshimura pipe it came with. May not change MPG, but it will be a whole lot cleaner with a catalytic converter.
