I have to say the limited tank range of mine (ahem marginally over 70 odd miles with open Termi) is starting to grate (m40 south around the m25 has caught me out a few times). On the plus side, pushing it into garages is making me fitter!

p.s. hello board! :
What is confusing is the completely different tank range. My average is 85, worst is 75 and best 103. I usually put it down to riding hard or poodling along but my trip to Bristol at the weekend was not slow with lots of hard accelaration and thats when I got 103. I have the 2-1 race exhaust and race cams which probably don't help.
