Don't know why the vtr gets a bad rep for fuel efficiency. I did't notice any difference going to a bandit 600 and my RSV is definitely worse on fuel. Maybe if it was a full sports bike or had a bigger tank it wouldn't get mentioned? Its not the bike that gets a bad rep its the size of the fuel tan...
