They're hard to come by right now, though. I'm surprised someone doesn't gut one and replicate it for sale. They'd have make a mint.

Mine is louder on the bike than to passer by's. OTB's Bimota is insanely loud. You can hear him coming from a mile away...but much quieter on the bike. Mine is opposite. Not loud from down the road but loud on the bike.

From what I understand the sound is similar to the Drummer... However, I seem to think it was louder for those around me than it was for me... Perhaps that has to do with the directional orientation of the outlets...

marko... I think I asked this before but can't remember if you answered... but what do you get for range on your firebolt? it's got a small tank I know... but from what I hear they get great mileage...

Define great mileage..

I get on avg 180kms to a tank of fuel. I have the slightly smaller tank as opposed to the Ss.

I've seen a little over 200 before the light came on, but I did a bit of highway to get that. So, anywhere from 110-120 to a tank.

When they claim I should be getting low 60s to high 50s, and I'm getting low to mid 40s, it pisses you off a bit. Then you realize, you could ride it like a granny and get those numbers. But, we all know that's no fun.

from what I've heard you can flog the shit out of it and get mid to high 40's for MPG...

on a 3.8 gal tank you should be getting 150 miles per tank if you got 40mpg... so 180 Kms seems a bit low...

if you get under 150 MILES per tank... then fuck it... that tank is too small for my type of riding... I hate having to stop every damn hour and a half. and hate to always have to plan where i'm gonna be so I can stop and get gas...

the 1125R has a 5gal tank and should get mid 40's according to some people with the new fueling fixes... so that's 200 miles per tank...

The 9's and 12's get better mileage than the 1125's. I regularly get 45-50MPG on my 12 and I'm not gentle. I'm also a big bastard on a heavy bike.

I usually get 160-170 miles before the reserve light comes on. I then have another 25-30 miles before the tank's dry.

The 1125 gets low 40's now with the new fuelling.

It ain't a Super Chicken tank that's for sure.

but the 1125R also holds a galon and a half more should make 200 at low 40's mpg. probably 170 when the light comes on...

at 33 mpg, you have 25 and ONLY 25 miles to go after the light comes on... trust me.

I believe Marko said he was getting like 150ish before the light with twisty riding.
Whenever my salesman comes and picks up Vader, I'll be getting the new fueling remap. Granted, i'll have to wait till next year to figure out if it made a difference or not but

ehh I had 15 or so on the ZZR after the light came on... I went 18 once... but it died coasting into the station... the other two times I ran out at exactly 15 miles from when it sputtered and I went to reserve. and that was at 45mpg give or take.
