Hello!

Well, bought my XT1200Z Super Téneré a couple of weeks ago, so I haven't yet had a chance to test the maximum mileage with full tank.

I can tell you that brakes are super, and riding this bike is a real pleasure, but I'm coming from 13 years on two Harleys, so... well, I think you understand what I mean!

The saddle is somewhat uncomfortable (well, I and my girl were used to the fantastic couch-like Electra Glide seat), but I'll replace it next spring with a more comfortable one, more suitable to long rides.

I'm 100% satisfied with my new purchase, and I can't wait to let her lead me and my girl to Iran in summer 2012.

Do I take it that is in the 'economy' mode, johnnail?
I get the feeling there is around 20% difference, mode to mode.

mpg-etc conversion table here, fyi
