Unfortunately the mpg readings from the onboard computer are not very accurate and are overly optimistic. You will probably find it is from 5-8mpg better than what you will get when you calculate it yourself at fill up time. I also ride my NT for commuting and it is a great bike for that task.
Thanks, I work in northern VA (near DC) but live in Shenandoah area. So it is quite a commute for me everyday.
To be honest. I filled it back up yesterday just to see what mpg I am getting. 106 miles on 2.1 gals. 50.9 mpg the cluster avg reading was 50.8, it seems to be pretty spot on.
Good to see a second Virginia member! I am just outside of Richmond (Midlothian) and have been the lone VA member until now. I am glad you are enjoying your new NT. I've got about 1700 miles on mine over the past couple of months, between the cold spells.
Boy! Mine has sure never been that accurate. I think the closest I've seen was 3.5 mpg difference between calculated and indicated.
What is the connection between the link and your statement about keeping your gear on during a crash ?
I haven't had the chance to ride the ferry since I started riding a motorcycle again, but I'm looking forward to it. I always envied you guys getting to jump to the front of the boat!
