RC I have an offer. Will you be at the Wild Wasatch Rally in Provo in Sept? If so I will offer to let you ride my 2011 with a Leo Vince slip on and Steves Evo flash and I can ride your scoot with Ivans. Then we can compare notes butt Cheek to butt Cheek. Fair? No dyno just awesome Utah roads and a right wrist. Not a race. Straight up seat of the pants comparison. Now keep in mind I have a Baldwin Seat so it may skew some results
For me it's about rideability, not pure HP. What say you? Look forward to seeing you in Provo regardless.

You guys, I do feel badly that this thread drifted off like it did, and I am sorry for that..
I SHOULD have known better than to respond in anger....should, I say. but did not.
Anyway, I had not planned to go to the rally. I'm out of town, often, and plans like this always end up getting in the way of work. Like my reservation for our rally, in Pocatello, Id from a few years back.......yes, ended up in the middle of Nevada, working on a mine site.
I was just at White Knuckle, Motorsports. Mark, you have to stop in there. They have a vintage Suzuki RGV 250 on the showroom floor. Never saw one of those, before. 250, two stroke, v twin. Never available in the us, and the thing is Utah plated! They also have a inline 4, Ninja 400. Not quite as cool, but unique.
Are your riding, this weekend? I have a few hrs free, on Sunday, and planned on going somewhere..... Our bikes are very similar. I have the Leo Vince slip on, as well, but I am using the far superior Sargent seat. Superior to what? That I'm not sure, but I hated the stock seat.
I was going to ride from West Jordan and end up out at that gas station in Delle, Ut. (At this point Mark is probably laughing. All that is near Delle is a nearby Nuclear waste storage facility and one service station.)
I wanted to ride to Delle just to see what my fuel mileage will be. Leaving, from my house will include a decent variety of conditions. Some uphill as I'm on the Mountain View corridor, but nothing is really exaggerated like it would be if I rode up Parleys, and went to Evanston. Total mileage will be @ 125.
The text on you site is confusing.
I should have not said what I did. I'd go back and erase it, but its been quoted, so that would not do much good. But I am sorry for saying what I did, and how Isaid it.
Is our onboard computer accurate enough for fuel mileage quotes? My bike is a cal emissions bike and has a fill insert. It makes it very difficult to eyeball the fuel level and match the level from fill to fill.
