Thanks Chris! Yes , this tankfill I went 194.1 miles and needed 1.86 galllons to refill for 104.35 mpg. I was hoping for a tankfill average in the 80-90mpg range so this is a big surprise. I knew I would break the 100mpg barrier, I just didn't think I would do so fast or with so little effort.
I will be going for taller gearing to see what the Ninja will do with it for extracting maximum fuel economy. But its good to know that I can get in the 100's with 15/41 gearing. It still accelerates OK for me and will be more fun to ride around with 15/33 gearing.

all the best, GA
