Featured My New Toy / Tank Range / Hello Everyone

Hi Kosty, welcome to the forum and congrats on passing your test. I have a 2015 Speed Triple and I would imagine that given the kind of riding you will be doing that a reasonable tank range would be in the region of 150 miles before you will need to look for fuel. A remap by someone like Hilltop motorcycles will make the bike more fuel efficient AND give more power. How do I know this? Well, I’ve just come back from a trip to Belgium and traveling with me was a pal with a 2013 Speed Triple who hasn’t had a remap. We rode the same distance at pretty much the same pace and I averaged 58mpg to his 54mpg! The remap also makes the bike run very smooth as you transition from a closed throttle giving the most gains in the lower to midrange, in other words, the bit of the power we use all the time, especially on a commute.

 

Welcome to the forum! Nice ride.

 

Hi mate and welcome

 

Eyup Kosty, and welcome.

 

Yeah I thought so til my mate on his T120 said he had got 72mpg, same trip

 

Hi and welcome.

 

Welcome in Kosty, I can second the 150 mile safe range, probably manage another 30 or so on that if pushed, but depends how much the London traffic hits your mpg - I'd guess it won't make too much difference.
Excelent choice and great looking bike, make sure you get some good security (hefty chain) on that and keep it covered for your best chance of hanging on to it in London!

 

Hi & Welcome.

I am really disappointed . I read the title and thought you had bought a Challenger or similar tracked and armoured heavy vehicle and had taken it out on the tank range you had !!!

A Speed Triple is nice, but I'd rather have a Challenger Tank !!!



(Callumity is now going to tell me that in fact this is a FV 4034 Challenger 2 !!!!! )

 

Hello and welcome

 

Very overpriced MrO you can have something like this for a lot less,( problem is once your in you cant get out)

 

My Challenger 2 would waste that in a second

The only thing to ever actually cause any damage to a Challenger 2 ?

Was another Challenger 2 in a 'Blu on Blue' incident

 

Welcome Kosty. As Yorkie says.

 

Ok easy answer full tank super unleaded average of 150/160 miles until warning light appears,don’t tend to do more than 20 miles after that if riding a tad harder should still get over 120/130 miles till petrol light appears,done this umpteen times on mixed roads and riding conditions,nice bike and colour but I’m biased as have 2011 same colours welcome in.

 

Welcome, I’m in Eastwood if you fancy meeting up for some rides on sunny days

 

Fingers crossed for you (don't envy your situation - but needs must ).
If you're getting a top box (there are certain depraved individuals on this forum that will instantly become your best friend ) then make room for a bike cover, apparently it significantly reduces the risk of theft, the scrotes don't know if it's a bike worth their attention or not I guess - so tend not to bother.
