[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1464729, member: 19880"] I think fuel consumption APPEARS bad because the fuel consumption meter is in miles per US gallon rather than miles per Imperial gallon. IIRC, a UK bike normally uses degrees C, miles and Imperial gallons??? US uses degrees F, miles and US gallons. The rest of the world bikes use degrees C, kilometers and litres. This is, of course, for Gen II where the owner cannot choose display units. Note: rest-of-the-world bikes can switch between litres/100 km and km/litre for consumption. US (and UK) bikes have a speedometer display that includes both miles and kilometers (in smaller print) on the dial. At least in Canada (and probably elsewhere), the dial is printed only in kilometers. Interesting observation... A US bike doesn't hide its metric roots. A rest-of-the world bike updates the average fuel consumption exactly once per kilometer after it has been reset. A US bike updates every 0.621 miles (= 1 km). [/QUOTE]
