Upgrading I hope.  And no I have not read your Monster for Sale post yet.

Not so much of an upgrade as a shift.  I'm going full time to my VFR800 and M is looking at a Kawi ZZR600 or the like.

Well, I can understand the move but I hope you'll still hang out with your Duc peeps  ;D

Of course I plan on still hanging out with everyone, best group around, I just won't have to stop for gas all the time.  [laugh]

Though I think being labled as the blacksheep is a badge of honor.   [evil]

I still don't know how far the 675 will go on a tank of fuel, I still end up stopping every 90 miles or so...  :P

[laugh]  Yep, there's always someone...

The 999's fuel light comes on at 120, then completely stops at 142 (don't ask me how I know).  My 955 Daytona, on the other hand, starts sputtering around 200 miles (fuel light comes on at 160).  Let's here it for Triumph!  [evil]

i went with the fz8. i have squeezed oveer 200 miles out of a tank and depending on how i ride i can get 44mpg. i dont get that when scott is chasing me around in the hill country. great bike and you will hear no complaints out of me. cory is the only other one to ride it. i will get another 900ss but i am done with anything ducati makes with a plastic tank.

FWIW--I rode the Duc today--awesome gas mileage with the FCR's.  [thumbsup]

Good luck on the sale of the 695.

If I recall correctly I was able to do about 110 before the light went on... no clue when it would have stopped.  The VFR has a 5 gal tank and I can do 200 without much trouble, unless I've been running it above 6500 rpm all day, then that number drops way down  ;D.
