yep, even with Keihin PE28 carb now (stock was 26mm vaccuum Keihin), I can still get 58-60 mpg...

with totally stock configuration, you can go as low as 92-94 mpg...

Cool man... You are really into it.

I bet with all those mods you could have purchased a bigger bike...lol

 

I'd reeeaaaaally like to move on to a bigger bike; I've always wanted a used '03 600RR...

but considering the traffic here (my town's traffic would definitely redefine the phrase "traffic jam"), the bumpy roads, high rate of motorbike theft, fuel economy, etc etc... I guess the 600 wouldn't be coming any soon... hehehehe =p

 

Oh yeah...... tell me about your place traffic. One of the worst traffic I had been too. I agree with you too that the roads there are not soo nice either.

 

can someone compare his country to los angeles traffic?

 

this is the kind of traffic that you'll see everyday in my town:

on mornings, afternoons (during lunch hours and end-of-school-hours), and evenings, it can get 2 or 3 times even worse than that.

imagine riding a 600 in that kind of elbow-to-elbow-traffic?
oh, not to mention that the air temperature gets around 86 degree F middays. even when the sun is not-so-bright.

Is there anything else besides cbr150's there? Seems like thats all i see in the pics.

 

yup, there were actually a few other bikes at the track... there was R1, R6, CBR 1000RR, 600 and 750 Gixer, Duc 748, 1098, and 999 as well... also some other smaller bikes, 150-200cc's... didn't take pictures of them though...
