I fill mine up every 150 miles or so - which is pre-reserve tank.

Costs me about £7.50 or so each time - the same I got out of my CG. It is lower geared, but I guess that makes me ride it 5mph slower everywhere.

Yep - just when I first pull away from home on the way to work - doesn't matter what I try, the clutch seems to bite a little more than usual.

I used to have an 06 one, I got about 120 per tank, and THRASHED it everywhere,
I miss that bike.

Averaging 85mpg brim to brim (cos I'm a nerd) over 6500 miles. Surprising how quick the air filters get dirty. Replaced the paper filter with an oiled foam filter and rejet to 105. Knocked a few mpg off but feels less flat (relatively - still a 4t 125!!) and holds speed a bit better on hills / against head winds.
