Crawdaddy 96 Posted May 10, 2013 Crawdaddy That is a good move for the commute, Helps a guy get up in the morning, eh. My daily commuter has been my Ram 2500 truck......the monthly savings in fuel expenses will offset 3/4 of the monthly bike payment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawdaddy 96 Posted May 16, 2013 My daily commuter has been my Ram 2500 truck......the monthly savings in fuel expenses will offset 3/4 of the monthly bike payment. Nearing the end of the first tank of gas on the new commuter scooter. I'm liking ~55 mpg with gas riding my bike as opposed to ~18 mpg with diesel driving my truck.

TrophyHunter 15 Posted May 16, 2013 Yup. I got 50 - 52 with mine. That 55ish should hold for you pretty well. Glad it's working out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
