Approximately 140 HP, and 275 kg.
Spends it's life hauling 110 kg of pilot, and 130 kg of pillion, plus
pulling 500 litre trailer. Averages around 20,000 km per year.
Tends to sit on around the 100-120 kph. Has occasionally seen higher
(180 mark).
Running 36 psi up front, and 42 at the rear.
Averages 14 km per litre. Normally gets 20 km per litre when solo and no
trailer.
The BMW K100 was a little lighter, and a lot less power (95 HP), and
still didn't manage to get much better tyre wear. Back then, there
wasn't much pillioning either - or towing.

I got 4,000kms from a set of Dunlop D205's that I fitted to my Bandit
1200S. That was less than the softer tyres before and after.
I suspect it was because the compound was too hard to grip well on the
exit from corners... I could feel them spinning up out of corners each
time I got a bit enthusiastic with the throttle (at an earlier throttle
point compared to the D220's).

I only get 6000 to 8000 out of sports/touring tyres on the V11 LeMans Zebee.
I'm sure I could manage that with a Norge too

Male emus are not very smart. Boy emu meets girl emu. Girl emu blinks eyes
at him. They have it off. Girl says 'hang about and see the eggs'. She lay
eggs and says "Can you keep an eye on these babies for a few minutes while I
duck behind a bush". He never sees her again, and gets to look after the
chicks for 18 months.
