The bike needs new tires, the bike wasn't run for 3 months before I bought it, these 150 miles were my first 150 miles of motorcycle riding (and manual transmission) ever, half the gas was probably pretty old (it was topped of when it was sold to me).

That said, she's been running wonderfully. Terrible good fun.
Just passed 600 miles, feel I have gotten, a good estimate regarding fuel mileage. (And I have not really babied it) My calculator says just a tad over 80! Unbelievable!
