    The tap is a pain in the dick to operate. I just leave mine on reserve and work off the light. 100km with the light on at touring price. One trip over the Rimutaka hill.

    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.
    I never found mine all that bad, around 14km per litre of juice with normal riding, to drop to 6 would involve damn near race track type riding.
    I traded in for a Honda ST1300 which is over 60% heavier and has 400cc more, I get 17.5km per litre with normal riding on the ST.

    I had a bloke with an RF900R on my Ride Forever course today.

    It's ugly in a kind of beautiful way. The arse end looks like the stern of a fleet auxiliary when you follow it.

    Looks spot on pointed at the ground as it wheelies away I'm told.

    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.

    He has previously indicated he has no interest in becoming a grumpy old biker.

    Perhaps you should get a life and stop following me around here actively trying to target me?

    RF900 owners and people who should stop fucking around in a thread they have no genuine interest in.

    A coincidence you never offer any input to the topic at hand and its always in relation to me...

    Can a mod clear this shit out please.

    Actually, more a coincidence you keep posting in threads I am already watching.

    You don't need to get snippy just because someone points out contradictions or flaws in you're logic in your posts 3 or 4 times. Clean up your posts and I'll have nothing to say to or about you. Or put me on ignore and you won't be bothered.

    I do completely and freely apologise for not having you on ignore, for going out of my way to ignore threads you post in first etc, but once again I assure you I am not following you around... but with how much you pollute the threads it is becoming difficult to post anywhere without being assaulted by your drivel.

    Do you own an rf900? do you have any information about rf900's to add to the thread?

    If the answer is no. piss off.

    No to owning, yes to knowledge, joined thread when I wanted to buy one... If I leave this or any other thread it will be because I want to or the OP asks me to.
