·I'm new to the Ducati fold as I recently bought an '03 M1000S with only 1,100 miles on it and Giannelli exhaust. I'm also an old (69) rider coming from the Japanese inline 4's -- FZ-1, VFR800, ZX6, ZRX1100, etc. At my age I don't consider myself anywhere close to an aggressive rider--just happy to be still riding. My question (at last) is what is typical fuel mileage for moderate riding for my bike. Seems to be my only criticism of the Monster which I love is I can go only about 105 to 110 miles before the low fuel light comes on. Even with the FZ-1 I got over 40 mpg with same riding style, but I can't seem to get beyond 37 to 38 mpg. Small complaint about a great bike, but I like to ride in the more remote areas.
