Default Gas Mileage?

I know I'm prbably gonna get jumped on for this that if I worry about gas mileage I shouldn't be riding. But a legitimate concern is gas mileage and range on a tank of gas. Granted the P and V 700's are power houses alright with no equals, but all that funin' around will eat the gas up pretty kwick, as opposed to say the Griz- single cyl. So is there a bigger tank available for these beasts?

An aftermarket tank can be purchased for the V-force from IMS Products (www.imsproducts.com) or one of it's dealers. They have a 4.7 gallon tank for the V-Force.

That was one of my concerns with purchasing a V. Even though
I'm only on my second tank, I was able to ride for several hrs
around some trails at my brothers house, not hard, and around
my yard for about an hour off and on for several days with out running
low enough for the fuel light to come on. I'm just gonna make
sure when I do go out that I fill up ever time I come back to camp.

The V is definately a gas hog, it might do ok if you're just putting around but when you're at the dunes and have the throttle pegged 80% of the time it goes through the fuel very fast. I keep hoping someone else will come out with a little more economical price for one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
