Yesterday, 05/13 I did a milage check. The GTS took
3.8 GL.@ 190 ML. That,s 50 MPG @ 70-85 cruising
speed with stock gearing & 5" over Clearview shield.
I'm 5'8",180lb. Run on 87 oct.Bike has 45k on it.
Add one more reason to own a GTS, It,s a one damn
effecient high performance sport tour motorcycle!
