That looks gooood! The headlight/screen setup gives it a very cool & unique look.

Cheers
Clint

Hi Chris, not sure yet as I have not had a decent ride with the big tank and comfort seat on. I'm hoping for something 300 plus and hopefully approaching the 350/360km the Transalp was capable of. Stories on the www suggest the 18l tank is closer to 20l so it will be interesting to see what it does. Will do a tank run out test once the rego on hold period is over. Cheers, Tim

I almost got 21 litres in the tank, range was between 300-330km at a push depending on how you ride her. BUT, she doesn't like it slow

24 Litres consistently gets me 500kms with another 4L to go in reserve so I would be surprised if you didn't get closer to 400kms. But then I ride like a nanna......

Suprising what a 41mm carb does over the 39mm of the 640A, fuel consumption is less, but it is more fun, because it is way lighter, thus ride faster thus use more fuel..

and there is no reserve on the tank at all, it is just 20 or 21 litres...The reserve cock is just for show...

True. 525 gets 18.5 km/l in adv configuration where the 640A gets 21km/l.

640A/E have a 40mm CV, at least the more recent ones do. The 625 and the RFS bikes have the flat-slides which are easier to over-fuel when the fun handle is turned - it's what the carb is designed to do.

Good job, timg!

Once I found a good height the screen deflects the wind blast well and the Hella lights in these things are awesome - much better than any other bike I have had.

Lynx? halogen lamps or did you go for HID?
