On a tank? That brings up another (simple) question: How big IS the tank on this monster?

What kind of gas milage does a Spree tend to get?

I'd find out myself, but the front wheel is jacked up and I fresh out of $$$.

Mine has 1984...and not a single one of them was from me...yet.

Nah, its a motorcycle charger....he just bought a SWEET Bandit a couple of weeks ago, and got some little dirt-slinger tossed in free. So he already made the investment on the charger.

I should get it back tomorrow, so maybe tomorrow night I can try this out.
