100-120 seems to be right with the ones I have ridden with.

110-140 when I was on the road. That is stock gearing.

Mapping it with a PC will help your mileage HEAPS. Not to mention the smoother on/off throttle etc etc.

Mine is mapped although I cannot say any more as it was when I got it.

Stupid question Sook, does gear changes affect the map.

Re: gas milage?
It will, coz the bike will be revving higher for the same amoung of throttle and/or speed. Most of the guys I've mapped RC's for, go from getting 170-180km per tank to getting 220-240 per tank. Unless your bike is custom mapped, you ain't gonna know if it's as good as it could be or is worse etc.
