1 in top gear at 70mph my revs are 6.5k and thats without winding on the throttle just cruising...but feels like it will go well over this...is this about right??...85 was 7.25 k overtaking.
2 how many miles out of a full tank??
bike is stock and not goin to nail it everywhere btw just an average will do.
3 what are these like 2 up?? and no the mrs isnt fat...  best to set shock on stiffest?? or just get a feel of the bike and adjust as we go??
4 how do you prepare a woman who is shiteing hersen on her maiden 2 up voyage...this weekend.
cheers gonna service the bike and check everything over...

Couple of rum & cokes, a nice sunny day and she'll love it. Not sure about all the two stroke spots on her new jeans tho  Stiffest setting on the shock and a couple of psi, (maybe 5), in the rear tyre should do it.

think take her out on a (big comfy) four stroke ie pan euro,blackie xjr etc
taking anyone over 18 out on a 2stroke is asking for trouble m8
put it this way would you go out on the back with you
and if so ..........would you want to be married to you

I get about 12MPH per 1,000 RPM on standard F2 gearing, so yours looks a little low.
100 -150 miles per tank, depending upon restraint levels. Much more & you're on the wrong bike. That said I'm touring down through France next week, in convoy with, amongst others, a 1961 Honda 250, I'm expecting record MPG's.
I had to give a mate a lift home after his bike punctured, I'd say they are pretty poor 2-up, not to be recommended on standard shock etc.

would say i never got more than 100 mls per tank out of any lc , 4l/pv
that i've owned
however today with certain "restrictions" it might be more
never really thought about it before either
my current one did 73 miles on it's first tank of super u/l
so we'll see if that can be bettered

Got an N1. I get 130 - 135 miles from a full tank before going onto reserve.
When you take a new pillion try to avoid hard acceleration and braking, expecially at first, or you may put them off bikes for life. Also don't filter or overtake too close to another vehicle as it could freak them out if they are used to being cacooned in a car. Finally, make sure you agree a very clear "I want to stop" signal with the pillion before they even get on the bike.

It should do aprox 100 miles before hitting reserve, anything above 100 miles will make you have to turn the petcock...
Two up no biggie on a stock F2, they go silent and comfy, and the rush of power is so smooth she wouldnt even notice it! Get 2,5-2,7 bars in the tyres and maybe tweak the shock alittle.
