Greetings all, as promised to my fellow 1330 Ryders, Here is a brief report on how my RT S SE-6 did on the way down to Kissimmee from the Pensacola Fl area.
First off you should know that I am a big man, not by choice, by insulin.. any way the ryde was made with being two up on the Spyder with all compartments holding items, also we towed a trailer behind Camus, it was made for me out of a medal frame with an 18 cubic car top carrier and it was holding about 200 lbs in clothing and laptop, and cpap equipment.
The trip took about 10 hours in travel time which also included stretch stops, note if I had highway pegs on the stretch stops would have been reduced, am really looking forward to when Lamont has them ready.
I traveled interstate 10 to highway 19 which was about 219 miles, during this time on the interstate I traveled at 72 mph in the ECO mode. Then I traveled the off roads of 19 and 27 south to highway 192 that runs into Kissimmee. During the time on the off highway roads I traveled mostly at 69-70mph, with some portions being at 55 mph. I fueled Camus 4 times during the run so here are the results of the mileage for you: 1st fill 26.4mpg, 2nd fill 27.3mpg, ( 1&2 were fills after interstate speeds) 3rd fill 29.6mpg, 4th fill 33mpg. (3&4 fills were after off highway speeds.), this gave an average of 29.07mpg for the trip down. Seeing as Camus was loaded down pretty good I do not think this was all that bad. Oh and I ran midgrade fuel which was rated at 89 to 90 octane. the total mileage for the trip down was 462 miles.
There you have it my friends, I will be down here for a short while and am going to keep Camus in the ECO mode since I tend to be heavy on the throttle.
Be safe
