I had the same "problem" when I started riding. Being a semi-noob myself, I thought something was wrong with the bike getting only 140-150 miles per tank. I learned on the board, that it all depends on your driving patters ... me I drive mostly in the city. Go, stop, rev, go, stop, swear, go, rev, etc. I hardly took the bike out of the city initially and the mileage I got was terrible. That plus my measuring wasn't that accurate. So, depending on your driving, you might be just fine.

I mostly ride highways 236 & 9 because I'm from Santa Cruz. The only city riding I do is during school term. I sometimes ride freeway as well. But for summer now,it's all highway xD
