Quote: For those who have them, how many miles per gallon/miles per tank do you get out of the Thunderchicken?
Umm right - OK.
So you're one of those people who wouldn't want - for example - a fancy sports car because it uses too much fuel!
Lets face it - this type of bike is going to be used (in 99% of all cases) for a great 'A to A' ride. Enjoy - Experience and HAVE FUN. If you want a bike for commuting 'A to B to A' with great economics, then get a scooter or better still - stay with your bicycle!
But to give you an honest answer - my 209 Thunderbird 1600 Efi uses (5.2 ltr/100km) around 1 liter per 100 km more than my 2008 Speedmaster 900 EFi (4.38 ltr/100km) - which is about the same as my 1994 Tiger 900.
Eh, just ignore the nay-sayers here. They've said it all over and over and over, ad nauseum (Though I think that was just an honest question about a particular part of the overall performance, knowing the range is important).
What I would like, since you're in Switzerland and perhaps have done some Alpine riding, is your opinion and evaluation of the handling of the Thunderbird
