Rode it 333 miles
South east looked like my best option, so down from Livingston to Biggar, then cross country to Moffat, St Mary's Loch, Selkirk, further east hitting the east coast around Lindisfarne, went North up the coast then across the borders, reversing the St Mary's Loch run and back
Worst mpg 42, best 54 (180 miles to reserve), that's with the remapped ECU, and -1 tooth front sprocket
The swatted fly count could probably have been higher.
Feeling confident with the Angel GT's now, but they're wearing quick so I'm glad I've got another pair ready to go on !
A lot depends on your weight, if you're average weight you could get away with that.

My old KZ550 developed a leaky oil seal the night before it's MOT. I just took a gamble, removed the fork, drained the oil and left it empty for the test.
It actually rode well enough on reasonable road surfaces !
New seals were fitted ASAP
