Long fast run - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

I couldn't pass up riding today so I went for life in the fast lane to ring things out a bit. I went 148.9 miles in 1 hour 45 minutes for an average speed of 85.1mph; 137kph. The bad news is I burned up 3.6 gallons of fuel for an end result of 41.3mpg. Considering the posted speeds on the run were anywhere from 25 to 70mph I don't figure that was to bad at all. God I do love this bike....

No, I did not get stopped or even see a Police cruiser.

I actually went out to talk with a guy about powder coating an exhaust for the FZ6. One step closer to having a plan.
