My X7 has done 14500kms with a couple of niggly issues. Fuel economy though is good and you should have ridden about 270 - 300 kms when the fuel guage goes into the red zone.

I’ve had a 1988 250cc Honda Spacy (its name was obviously Kevin) for 7 years and last year I finally retired him after a trip to the ...
