SH300 Xmax 250 comparison

[mottza]

That seems high for a 250. I've only got 60-75mpg on a 250.

Filled up on the way in today... took 10Lts (2.2 Gal) and had done 185 miles... 84 mpg! - Thats from about 3 days / 100 miles of commuting, and about 85 miles worth of running around the roads and lanes of Sevenoaks, Edenbridge, Tonbridge etc often seeing 60 / 70 on the clocks...

...I followed one out of town last night and it didn't appear to be that sluggish away from the lights...

Mines a Matt Black SE, and can often be seen up / down the OKR, and im usually wearing a Fluro Yello lid...
Are you the TMax Pilot with the James Hayden lid and Granny Blanket? - another i often see wears a Roof Boxer lid...
And you had a CCM R30, right?

[Taipan]

No, I'm on a silver Tmax red arai, red jacket, jeans and the trainers of invincibility! I go along the embankment/upper and lower Thames st and teh A13.

Yup, had two R30s, one rotax and one 710 Suzook lump. Loved 'em!

Yeah, but your's is an old old scooter.

10 litres in all of the Satelis 250's (with an injected Quasar lump) I've had gets me around 180miles before the reserve warning comes on. When I fill up it usually works out somewhere between 80 and 90mpg.

To be honest I do tend to use all the bhp the X9 and the Leo throw out. And it does see a lot of 70-80mph running on the A12.

I could improve the figures I guess, but I like having fun.

What I do like about the X9 is that its range is about 200-220 miles (about 13 litres) before the fuel light comes back on.
