Definitely the most popular because blue is the fastest colour.

Agreed though, the white ones look ace, even if they are slower.

Could it be because its restricted, I always end up switching to reserve at around 100 and it runs out completely at around 120

I have to switch to reserve between 60/70miles. People on the Honda Forum are claiming 120ish as the average. God knows what I'm doing wrong. I assume my harsh acceleration and braking aren't helping a thing.

i dont get much more from mine.

Tank range is a pretty wierd reason to be put off a bike though IMO, how hard is it to pull into a petrol station and get fuel Laughing

It's not even a factor for me how big the tank is, aslong as it fits a tenner in it im happy as thats all i ever put in. Most bikes feel horrible with a full tank of fuel

I've never noticed the bike being any different to ride with a full tank of fuel. Maybe a little more top heavy when wheeling it around the garden.

I find it annoying to keep having to stop and refuel on a long ride. I don't think a 100 mile tank range would stop me buying such a bike, but it'd definitely be a mark against it.
