Africa Twin fuel economy
I'm very close to buying a 2 year-old Africa Twin to replace my aging Transalp, but I am (and have always been) put off by the poor economy that the Twin gives compared with the 'alp. On tarmac I regularly get low to mid fifties (miles per gallon, that is) providing I don't nail it, yet the Twin seems to average low forties. Weight, aerodynamics and engine design all might well be to blame, but does anyone know of a way to improve matters without compromising performance too much? The new 'alp seems to suffer a bit this way too. Economy is always paramount when fuel stops are few and far between and funds are low, eh?
