Oh, ok 1.2x50mpg=60 mpg, so I guess by my calculations I am right there. I tend to fuel up way more often than a 300-mile interval, but seems as if I were to push it.

Just my left leg, the muscle that runs up and down, close in next to the bone, maybe 10” to 12” below my knee along the outside of my shin bone; just killing me ...

Dang! I was so hopeful.

Appreciate your help.

I have an opportunity to purchase a second seat, but not certain it fits and before I make the bid ride to find out, thought I would ask the world wide web ... does anyone know if a 2007 R1200RT seat(s) are one in the same fit as the 2023 R1250RT seat(s)? Is there a way to know?
