Thx! 2000 E1, although I also now have a F1 and it too is setup with the SuperTrapp slip-on. Both are great a deflating rider egos, given that they are little 900s, but still quite fast and nimble for canyon riding. I now know exactly how far each can go on a tank of fuel, which typically equates to just more than twice what other bikes are capable of.
All rides end with the late model riders exhausted, sore and on empty, while the E and I are ready for another round.
And it has been nice gaining 20+ miles per tank too. That really throws other riders for a loop after riding for an afternoon and not seeing me put in gas. Many run out at 120m, mine 245m+.
After another romp session one guy was bragging about his getting 45MPG; it actually was 43. I did the math. For the second run he topped off with 2.1g and mine 1.6g. He ran his to within 10 miles of empty. Mine never even hit reserve. I didn't have the heart to one-up him. Top speed seen so far, 145.
Is it a 2000 E or F Model? I've an 2001 E and pulls just like yours! wild up to 12k rpm. Nice ride!
