Look here y'all, I ain't EVER bought a bike where mpg was a factor in the decision LOL. If I like it, don't care if it gets 10 mpg LOL
You know you just can't hide the money .... ;-)

No offense to the BMW owners but I'd prefer the Wing over the 1600.
But, I'd rather have a redesigned ST over either...
I wonder if it is designed to use regular gas or high test?
Just put down 10k on the White Tour DCT Wing.
I read 87 on another site.
I saw somewhere the compression ratio is very close to the ST??
I just read it in the 2018 GL PDF manual that 86 PON is required at a minimumWing uses regular fuel but in another review that it uses premium.
There is a significant amount of technology that makes this possible. It really comes down to heat displacement (removal). Here is a good read on how they accomplished it.Compression ratio is not necessarily an indication of octane requirement. The Mazda SkyActiv engines run 13 to 14:1 and regular is recommended. My Mazda 3 2.0 runs regular at 13:1.
... it is supposed to be a replacement for the ST also...
There is a very high likelihood I will be on this in the spring. I'm unsure yet, but will probably hold on to the ST cuz she is just so much fun to ride. But time will tell.
OPINION ... manual or DCT?
I'm 99% sure it won't be the Tour. I just love the sporty look of the standard 'Wing.
