Serious point - mpg? Don’t worry about it, balance any financial worries with fun!!! Hard to type what I mean but mpg means F all. Enjoy and stay safe.
TGR-
MPG on a motorbike thread, wait till he sees what MPG gets out of a tuned 2 stroke.
Changing riding style and can increase MPG. Things like keeping the throttle opening constant help. Then I can get the 225-250 4 stroke supermotos from 50mpg to 20mpg. 20 mpg was fun and got even lower on a track day with 10year old cut wets.

Think I’ll start pulling apart the Scorpa/Rotax bottom end this week/weekend. Assess the situation before investing in the parts. Top end is waiting for the mechanics to get a quote from their chosen machine shop.
In other news,
The Blackbird is in for fork seals and front pads tomorrow AM. I drove it to Cheddar and back, felt a little…easy. <40mpg is painful after smaller capacities though! Especially when the bike never goes above 6k! Ha!
Sherco needs swingarm bearings. Gonna get that done before my first ever trial in a fortnight.
XJ is still stored, and DR350 is sat looking sad waiting for me to have time and energy to do some lanes.
