Hello Mr.Time, I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions here but let's say for the sake of,..........levity, you know a bit about these things, What sort of fuel economy do you get ? I ride 500 km a week usually 35 to 50 km legs and that's highway. I'm not averse to having terrorists in cars being held up behind me if I was chugging along at 80 kph cause they all shake their fists at me when they scream past when I'm doing 100. Now my question is how long can you ride one of those bikes before you have to get off ?? BTW I weigh 115 kg and I'm 198 cm, Back in 1789 I bought an XT 250 and riding from Brisbane to Melb, Sydney to Melb I could get 110 kph if I had my chin on the handle bars but if I sat up I'd be down to 85, to make a short story long: If I had a postie bike and and assumed the sport bike riding position would I get better fuel economy or perhaps allow for a 16 tooth sprocket without the struggling ???????? Thanks. Pat A Lakes Entrance.
bible basher In a perfect world where you do no more than 60 km/h you would get 2.5 L to 3.0 L per hundred kilometres out of her CT 110 that’s right your 5 L fuel tank under the seat would last for 100K or more. But as soon as you open that bad boy up, and sit on the factory 80 km an hour. You’ll get 3.5 L per hundred kilometres at the very best but you’re probably going to be stopping for fuel 90K down the road. So yes you are get off every 35 to 50 km to put fuel in the thing. I hope this is helpful. please stop bashing Bibles and God bless
Thanks, I was considering the CT110 for tracting rural letterboxes, my KLE 500 is a bit too big and awkward for dropping christian tracts into farm letterboxes and I suppose with a postie bike I could don the flouro and tract the town letterboxes too. Riding the 500 on the footpath would definitely look a bit suss. @@itsRDtime
