Efficient, but not Cherman

When you think of Yamaha R1, you think of a rolling death-trap, a wheelie machine, a bike capable of near-on three hundred kilometres per hour...

Today I put 12 litres of fuel in the R1. I topped it up just like I usually do. I had 218.6 kilometres on the trip meter and the reserve light hadn't even come on.

Quick calculation means I get over 18km for 1 litre of fuel. Ok, so I ride like a nanna, but at least it's not costing me the earth. Shows that even the big bores can be efficient (but Japanese).
