Pan European (MPG???)
Howdy all, since my last post my Goldwing is still in the 'engine rebuild & bike overhaul' stage. I've just bought a Pan ST1100, which goes well, etc, etc. What I'd like to know is: what would a fair MPG for this bike be? I've done a couple of motorway miles = 150mile round trip twice and the first trip was er 'quick' (I was only doing 70ish ossifer) seriously, I did the first trip at about 120 - 130, it returned about 30 odd mpg, which I thought is a bit low. The 2nd trip was a more sedate 70 - 80mph with a marked improvement. The bike was bought off my brother, so I can trust his word, which was: Its fast but don't cane it and expect good mpg. Does anyone have any thoughts or knowledge about this, because I had visions of using the Pan for my Thailand trip in May, in preference to the wing.
Cheers, Oletimer (George)
