Current Ride: Some 80s Hondas and a Burgman
I have yet to open the throttle all the way on my Burgman. If I do it on the CNs it usually means I've done something silly immediately prior to that. On a 125 Spacy the throttle is pretty much an on-off switch :D

But i like my fuel to last as long as possible.


I may have just explained why I rarely get better than mid-40s MPG out of my GP800

The way the power's delivered on the Leo, I'd imagine WOT is a pretty stress-free experience for my rear tyre! :lol:

I agree! But it's off-the-line performance is pretty shit, if we're being honest.

I was on a very moderate incline today and I struggled to beat a white van away from the lights!! I swear my sheriffs badge got a bit twitchy at one point...

(Might be because I'm a sizeable c-unit!) :lol:

I dont use full throttle on the Pug 500 that much, not much point--- its quick enough but most of my riding is around town , and you just dont want to be going that fast.
Now on my Clio 182 I regulary hit full throttle--- I think this would also trash the pug in a from standstill drag race.
Thing is speed isnt everything and I ride my scooter much more than I drive my Clio
