    The bars are super low for an 'upright' bike. Prolly get used to it, I'd rather the full hooligan stance it inspires.

    New to forum, gday from Australia...

    Interesting reading the comments here. 160km per tank typical, 180 if behaving myself. Standard gearing. Bar comfort - for the past 2 years, I have typically ridden 1000km per week. Comfortable for myself - wouldn't change a thing. I am 170cm and 88kg.

    Wore out one RF9/LE, recent crash second, rebuilding both, lol

    Easy, stand the bike up to add that extra ltr. You'll find most will 'fill' their bike while it's on the side stand leaving room in the tank for more fuel.

    I do stand it up to squeeze in everything that'll fit. Only when I'm about to ride more than 50 k's straight away though. Otherwise when the fuel expands I've seen other bikes leaking from the overflow.

    Because you top up instead of just ...fuel up.

    Dredge...

    So what we learn is shake every last drop?

    The fuel consumption on the RF is horrific i swear i spend more time at gas stations that i do riding.

    Spirited riding i'm getting around 6km/l

    15 if im nice.
    To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead.

    Used to get an easy 18 to 20 km/litre from mine
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.
