WOW 10 mpg.....

[RTaz]

 

Got 10 miles per gallon rode 100 miles at 100 miles per hour ....   may need some medical help, have Michigan bugs embedded in my forehead smile won't leave my face and my knuckles are still all white and won't release from hand grips....the Valkyrie performed just the way I knew it would when I bought it. Come to think of it I never asked what the mileage would be when I bought it, I just knew it was bad ass  




Okay folks its just a joke, I don't mean no harm and I ain't picking on anyone, I just have a little warped sense of humor.

I one time got about 80 mpg on the valk....I was driving down the Mt. Washington auto road and I didn't have to give it any throttle except at the end.

[DarkMeister]

I drive 100 all the time and my fuel consumption is much better.

Oh wait. That's a hundred kilograms  kilotons  kilometers.

[eric in md]

[Daniel Meyer]

Yeah, not far off. 63 miles at 130mph indicated.

[ricoman]

Yeah, not far off. 63 miles at 130mph indicated.

I have gone 192 miles on my Interstate on it' its larger tank, hit reserve at 175.

Pretty good cruising range.

I usually take a break every 100 miles anyway.

At that speed there is not a lot of difference...

Darn....I wanted to see the 10 gallon tank!!   

[bscrive]

A 10 gallon tank.  I wonder what that would look like on the valk?  Can someone do some photoshopping?

I think the valk would look pregnant...

[bscrive]

I guess if my IS was pregnant it would have Standard...or maybe a Shadow?

Actually there would be a lot of difference.

Whole new bucket of worms there. I wish I could link web sites.
I'm such a Luddite. Even my car has the wiper switch on the dash.

Unfortunately this isn't a particularly good photo but it shows a 9 gallon (UK so that is about 10US) on a Valk. This was a common modification on some UK bikes a few years ago. If you ask Steve on the UK board he'll give you more info but basically you cut the tank open and weld some extra metal in on both sides. It is quite difficult to do as the steel of the Valk tank is quite thin.
