Gas milleage - 97 speedtsr vs a 4 tech speedster 150

[tchies]

I have a 97 speedster and am looking for a 4 tech one - Wondering how gas millage compares at say 40 mph

Also - looking for input on getting a supercharged one or not - I have worked on many 4 tech motors including 4 rebuilds and I am aware of the maintenance issues. and valves.

Kinda looking for input on performance and value . don't really pull tubes or skiers


Thanks

Tim


I'm in Minneapolis and mostly ride on the Mississippi - in a relatively quite area - If you have one for sale - let me know

My challenger at full bore is about 8 to 10 GPH. Way better than 2 stroke

The 4tec will be far better on fuel than a 2 stroke carb model. I'd guess about double.

I had a 95 sportster and compared to my speedster 150 4tec it's sickening how much more fuel efficient my 4tec is, I could last the whole day (for me on 4 to 5 gallons) on it.

I also I'm very happy I haven't had to deal with carbs, oil mixture, etc for 3 years now
