    Sorry to go back to the Harleys but HD already came out with a café racer I think in the late seventies and everybody hated it, it didn’t fit in with the Harley riders and it didn’t fit in with the café racers. I was told you could buy them new in the crate for $1800 I saw one in decent shape and they were asking $14,000 (doesn’t mean they’ll get $14,000 for it :lol: ). That new one does look good though, maybe this generation is ready for a Harley café racer.

    Back to the topic I don’t check mpg either and fun per gallon for me is not quantifiable. :D

    It was the XR750. :D
    That was the Harley I wanted until I saw this one the other night.

    Yikes, maybe the tower in the petcoc has somehow been clogged.

    i go about 120 before i hit reserve, and depending on how i ride, i get between 40 and 49 mpg mixing up in town vs. freeway. i don't mind the stops, i'm pretty new to biking and i like to stretch out!
