First tank after I bought my 748BP, I got 170 miles before the light came on. Now I get between 130-140 before the light comes on. Last month in France, I was only getting 120 before the light came on (might have been giving it a little more right hand)

85 to the constant light
Always get the same but always give it large on the throttle though. Its what they are made for you know.
Got 110 miles to the light on the way back from Ireland but I had a hangover and was scared of all the fed speed traps in scotland so no right wrist wriggle for me.
Never get much more than 85 miles to 12 litres of fuel so that is approx 26/27 mpg me thinks in a drunken stupour.
Not the main reason I bought a Duke for though, thats the smile factor.
Geoff, I didn't think I hung around on the road, but I always get around 50 mpg. Perhaps you've got too many trick bits on yours weighing it down - LOL
