Hey Redline, awesome to hear that from you. Will you please post some photos of your cbr if possible.I'm just back from 2 days of 150kph highway cruising.
Didn't pay any attention to the fuel economy, but it sure wasn't 33kmp/l.
Usually though if pottering about without excessive speed you'll get 30-33kmp/l.
BTW, have 8500km on the CBR and it's an absolute little monster of a thing. I went for a nice 2 day ride and now, from a nice hard break in it has gone on to destroy everything on the highway, not one vehicle managed to pass it over 800km on what was pretty much empty 3 laned highway. The bike laps it up at 150kph (93mph) at 9000rpm and feels completely safe and sturdy in doing so. That's with a normal riding position and not ducking down onto the tank. The bike is still stock, but my word it's a machine and a half.
Don't know about US highways, but if the traffic is averaging 130kph (80mph) you'll be blasting past 'em, just get the engine broken in nice and hard.
wanted to ask a question: how controlled are the vibes from the body at high speeds?? does the counterbalancer really work?? Pretty keen to know this
cheers!
