Hi,
now I have to get into that fuel discussion, too!
> The new RD07 (1998) doesn't need so much fuel as earlier models. The fuel

I now own my third (!) RD07 (bad luck, stupid tourists) and I have to
say, all my bikes consumed about 5-5.5l per 100km at an average
speed of 100-110km/h. I never reached such high consumption
rates as described by all the other guys.
The lowest consumption I had was this year traveling through the
Dolomites, with my girlfriend, two boxes, tankbag and seabag the
@ only took 5l !
IMHO thatīs still too much, compared to a modern car engine.
BTW: my personal record was 2.7l/100km with a XL250R strolling
along corsican roads :-)
> 340-360 kilometres before reserve and after switch on reserve 100
Thatīs right.
To all the guys who long for more power (African Firestorm?!): look
at the consumption of the VTR engine. Thatīs a step back in
engineering.
Ciao,
Marco
