Hi all, l've had a suzuki gladius for two and a half years, my first bike for 30 years and its been ideal as a learners bike and much better than that as well. I've done a lot of touring on it and found it very comfortable. I am thinking about a new bike and l think the street triple R ticks most of the boxes, better componentry, a bit quicker and just a bit different. One thing that concerns me is how far you can go on a tank of gas, the gladius can get about 350 k's but that is at the speed limit and with ideal conditions, granted my speedo is about 7% out. Does some one out there have one and how do you find the fuel consumption or k's on a tank? I have read varying reports, if what the manufacturer says is correct then it is about 320 k's and thats alright. Its about how far you can go between fills when touring.
Also any other input would be appreciated, thanks.
