Have you tried http://www.multistrada.net/index.php

You may get more responses there. Also, there's a mileage thread in the tech section to get an idea what people are getting on the Monsters, for what its worth.

Thanks

those mpg figures look to be in line but the tank capacity definitely isn't.  Monsters don't have 4-gallon tanks.

Well if you think you are in the market for one I can only add that I put about 2000 miles on one last year and its just about the best damn all-around bike I've ever ridden.

The figure quoted is for a steel tank 2000 monster, 16.5 liter capacity, which converts to 4.358839 gallons.  I have put 4+ gallons in mine and it was not dry.  The plastic tanks are notably smaller.
