[QUOTE="Simian"] Anything as underpowered as a bandit 600 will surely spend its entire life with the throttle pinned, in whatever gear gets the damn thing to accelerate. 30mpg sounds about right.[/QUOTE] That's closer to what I'm seeing on my 1200; ridden sensibly, the old 600 got 40-45 mpg - obviously less when abused. B12s are thirsty bitches, aren't they? Worth it for the fun factor, though.
