Nute Posted September 25, 2025 Share Posted September 25, 2025 Neither of mine would make it - 90 miles for the FTR (has a gas tank smaller than my coffee mug), and about 140 for the Yamaha. Neither of my petrol powered cars would make it either ... but my electric one would 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever been to Norway? The place is full of EV's. I think I've had to charge mine at a public charger maybe 5 times. In the time it takes me to have a piss and a drink it's ready to go agin but I agree , not everyone is going to want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooN Posted September 26, 2025 Share Posted September 26, 2025 The tiger could do 280 km on a full tank, but only if ridden intelligently to maximise range. Not at 8omph though. The autoroute speed limit here is 130kph, so 128mph and riding that speed I usually reckon on 250km range. less if loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
