Can you actually ride a bike or do you just sit in bed at night with your torch and your motorcycle magazines?
A GS with d decent pilot on board will stuff loads of bikes on any road other than the fastest sweeping A-roads. You need to get out more fella.
Amen to that.

Its amazing isn't! I think it just seems to get better and better after a few thousand miles. The best I've had was 175 with 24 miles showing. Saying that I have had 220 out of the GS after I made the fuel filler mods.
By dint of poor planning on my part I have ridden down to 0.0 on the distance remaining. The sky didn't fall in , the world kept spinning in the same direction and most importantly the engine kept running as I trundled across the forecourt of the petrol station .
355 km had passed since I reset the tripmeter on startup on the previous fill . On the same route my olde Blackbird woul have needed fuel 20km earlier and taken 1 1/2 litres or so more . Feel free to print out this page , shred it up , put it in your pipe and smoke it.
Just to add my 0.02p's worth - what PB said about the pilot and NOT the bike as I will testify having followed him around a set of roads in Wales when he rode my Triumph Tiger!!!! The saying goes "its not what you ride - its how you use it". This can also be seen on a world stage such as MotoGP. If the Yamaha M1 was that good then both riders in the team would have a similar points position as it is Valentino is way ahead of Colin.
