Hi , About to take delivery of an ex demo xb12scg in hero blue ,could anyone tell me the real world tank range on one of these bikes , i do a round trip of 133 miles to work and back ( perivale west of London to Hungerford in west Berkshire mainly on the M4. I was wondering if i could get to work and back on a full tank .Also has anybody had any experience of the zero gravity sport touring extended flyscreen? thanks .

You should be fine, but will need to fill up daily. Just under 4 gallon tank on the SCG, with mileage realistically 45-55 miles per gallon, depending on the roads and how you ride them.
Nice bike 8-)

you should just be able to do the trip on one tank. at a steady 80 i got around 50 -55 ish on my 07 Scg.

the zero gravity screen is worth every penny. it keeps a good bit of wind blast off the chest at motorway speeds.
