Hi,
a couple of years ago I bought a '94 750 Strada from a mate who had stored it unused and unloved at the back of his garage for 9 1/2 years.
Finally got it on the road last week and went for a run at the weekend.
It is my first Guzzi and I'm impressed, comfortable, good brakes, decent performance, great noise and a bit of a novelty in the north east of Scotland.
I did 245 miles at a 'spirited' pace and when I filled it up this morning it took 15.6 Litres (3.45 imp gallons). If my maths is correct that gives around 71mpg!
I dont normally work out my mpg, when I fill a vehicle up I sometimes do a quick mental check to see if it is within acceptable limits but 71mpg?
Also I think I need some weaker throttle springs or a stronger right wrist (there's a joke in there somewhere) 'cos I reckon it would get to be a problem on a long tour, so any advice on replacing the springs would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Mick
