Not that it matters, but how is the gas millage going for the lucky few to have them 8) One of the thing I dont like about the bike is the small tank. Gary

right around 95 miles the low fuel light comes on. it usually takes right at three and a half gallons to fill er back up.

The only good news from this side of the pond, is that our gallons are bigger. However, we get screwed on everything else... @ $7 per gallon (ish) @ $1000 insurance average @ $17000 per ZX10 (ish) Screwed on leathers, parts, oil, blah, blah, blah... Taxed up to the eyeballs... :roll: Go for a ride - cameras everywhere :x However - would I go anywhere else? Uhhh, 'course I would... :cry: As you can see, I still ain't got my bike...

We still have to put up with the world's worst drivers.

zed- i ride everyday, to and from werk, in the rain, i dint give a darn, if it get too nasty ill ride my girlfriends bandit 400, but you have to clutch the shit outta that thing just to get a little wheelie. its not that cool at the stoplights either.
