Default Another '09 Review

I just found this and thought I'd pass along:

Where did the 16 pounds of extra weight come from? I know the spokes are thicker and the brake pads larger, but where is the bloat? Still, it was a very positive review.

That's weird, it claims to get 50 mpg. Uhhhhh I get a consistent 60 and that's with the full muzzy, jetting 132 and 40, no air box lid, and 13-45 sprockets. Explain that to me.

I still like the 06 /07 model better. It does seem strange about the 50mpg, maybe they got it wrong.
Cheers!

Maybe its the added weight? Well if we go by that theory, then with me on my bike I should be getting 10 mpg..[8D][8D][8D].............wait............[&:].. Or if I could lose 75 lbs, then I would get 100 mpg? I'm confused now.

Worse than that it says "nearly" 50mpg. Where's IG? We need to get this straightened out

Agreed! And I still want to know where the extra 16 pounds came from!

That 16lbs probably came from all the C.A.R.B. equipment needed for C.A. models.
