pretty nice article, although I do question their 270km mileage on 1 tank. I'm not even close to reserve at 270! And I do tend to ride "a tad on the aggressive side"
But otherwise a nice picture of the TDM's all-roundness.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


I see that in just about every magazine article I've ever read. I think that journo's can't get the same fuel mileage results as we do in the real world as they are mostly testing the performance of the bike during the short period it's in their hands, more throttle means more fuel so the results are always skewed.

I can usually rely on my 900 for 400kms without worrying.

It's a good article just the same, not written by some guy that just wants to ride sportsbikes.

Those quoting the history of Yamaha twins, dont forgot the disastrous TX500(my first Yamaha and Yamahas first 4 valve per cylinder engine) and the TX750!
