JamminJere,
Agreed, If the listed specification for fuel capacity is correct, Fuel consumption will be much more critical. Maybe variable valve timing will perform some magic here. Or maybe I'm just trying to psych myself up for the disapointingly small gas tank.

I hope it can obtain the mpg.'s your current connie's getting, Jerry. That would ease the small tank situation. I agree the throttle is connected to the gas gauge, and the right corrupts. With that in mind, I don't expect high gas mileage & once on the bike probably won't care anyway. Well, soon we should be able to remedy the high anxiety of waiting and wondering... I hear there is a Dealer meeting this week. I think I want a Black one. Changing the pipe may make it appear less Electrolux

The Iron butt crowd will need a rather large additional fuelcell.
