    It started cutting out on the highway when the trip odometer read ~177. It felt like it had dropped out of gear. I didn’t realize I was running out of gas for another half mile or so, and I managed to get it all the way to this gas station, sputtering all the way.

    It is not pushable, I’d have been walking for a gas can.

      That’s why I was glad to only have a 650cc. That was exhausting, with mostly flat roads. I can’t imagine how much effort a >1L bike would be. Walking for gas seems likely.

        I have had to push it very short distances. I have had to pick it up off the ground. It’s over 800lbs. After having ridden this for a while, I sat on my buddy’s GS650 and it felt like a moped.

        I also have a 40 year old 125cc scooter that is equally as fun to rip around on. That one only “runs out of gas” when the vacuum hose falls off the petcock.
