Re: re:89 PC (New to Me)

Fellow riders, one or two things:
The NT700 is an incredible machine and does have a very good millage. From 50 to over 60 depending on conditions. For comparison you always have to take the best possible data. Specifications are also meant that way. For the Deauville 62-64 was mentioned and 49 as riding in town. That is very good.

The NT700 has an economy meter that gives the owners very high millage readings. It figures that these were reported when I read "80 miles per gallon." Come on, this is half a sports bike with a higher screen and a trunk. Everybody can be right but it may not be true.

I have a link to a page with results for millage tests on 200 bikes from a magazine, the NT here must have been the 650 carburettor version. The PC is not in this list but would have done outstandingly good for its weight and engine.
