You have ridden a 125 so know the basics, the 07 is well behaved so you should not have many problems,
You need to be a bit more careful with the throttle control as the 07 responds quickly to throttle inputs,
and because of the way the engine is timed it sounds to be revving lower than it is and you can end
up moving faster than you think you are,
the rear suspension is a bit under damped and the bike can wallow on bumpy corners but it wont
do anything silly as long as you don't over do it to much, accelerating gently round corners helps.
Ride smoothly and build up your speed over time you will end up a faster, smoother safer rider.
I think that the happy zone just 4000 -7 (8), 000. But I have to think of km / l my daily dose is about 200-300 km.Forget the "eco" symbol, just keep it in its happy zone, which I reckon is between 4000 and 7000 rpm, and you'll be fine.
But the main thing is to enjoy the ride and not worry too much about a couple more km/l!
You don't feel it because the ratios higher up the box are closer, so there's a relatively small change in engine speed between the two gears. Clutchless gearchanges don't have any effect on anything, they're just a curiosity - something you can do on a bike that you can't do in a car.I think that the happy zone just 4000 -7 (8), 000.

By the question, whether I'm wrong if I change gear from 3 upwards without clutch.
The feeling is the same as the clutch.

4.2l/100km is pretty good. That's well over 60mpg. I use mine mostly in traffic, and use over 5l/100km.Even though covered, my average consumption is around 4.2l/100km, and that's me not caring about consumption at all, just driving normally, with some hard accelerations and swift cornering. At cruise I stay around the 4500-5500 mark as anything less and the bike is not to happy if it has to accelerate, higher and it tends to be a bit snappy.
I sometimes do clutch less up shifting, should not matter if you do or not, might put some more wear of the greabox if you don't blip the throttle.
I seem to find the bike sounds very uncomfortable from about 4000 revs upwards in 1st and 2nd gear. Even 3rd. Sounds very strained and starts vibrating. Maybe in higher gears you can get to 7000, but not in the lower ones.Forget the "eco" symbol, just keep it in its happy zone, which I reckon is between 4000 and 7000 rpm, and you'll be fine.

No, I agree, there's no need to rev it any higher in the lower gears, in fact the response at those revs becomes too jerky. 7000 would be for something like an overtake in a national speed limit to get you past a.s.a.p.I seem to find the bike sounds very uncomfortable from about 4000 revs upwards in 1st and 2nd gear.

80-100km is a very efficient speed for this bike. I noticed over the weekend where I was riding steadily, and did about 40 miles in a 50mph (80km/h) limit on the M3 that I have got way more out of the tank than usual.And my AVG 4.2 km / l, mod drivers on top was 4.7km.l
I drive in the 6th from 85 km / h and above. Mostly 95/100 km / h and the AVG 4.2
I know my driving style and I think that most go to 4.5 km / l.
Yes, here (Serbia) has a limit of 80 km / h, whether motorcycles have a small discount, but we do not stop up to 100km / h. I think that my consumption will be about 4.4 - 4.6 km / l when you work out the motor (after 1000 km)80-100km is a very efficient speed for this bike.

It normally goes onto reserve at about 120 miles, I'm on 140 now and only just onto one block.
Still sounds a bit heavy. After 2 - 3,000 miles your engine should have relaxed a bit, and you'd see an improvement in consumption.I'm still not managing to get above 50 mpg. And I'm riding at pretty normal speeds. I suppose it's the inner London commute, where I can't (legally!) get above 20/30 mph!
