Super unleaded

I'm sure this has been done to death before on here but i thought i'd share my experience of using it with you all.

For 2k i ran my Tenere on texaco or tesco fuel and had real problems with the bar vibrations. They were so bad that after my daily hour ride to work my finger tips were numb. I used to call my wife just as i got off the bike while walking in and using the phone was hard as i could not feel the ends of all my fingers for some 20 mins.

Also while doing 60mph in 4th at 4k revs the bar buzzing was so bad that i could not sustain that speed/rev combination for long.

So last friday i tried a tank of Vpower. For the first 200 miles there was nothing to report. Then while riding home from work on Monday it all stopped....the bar vibrations suddenly dropped to a level that i hardly notice them. This has continued through a second tank of Vpower. I am going back on cheap stuff tonight to see what happens.

I'm not getting any more power but everything is suddenly so smooth and i mean in a big way. The Ten now feels like a twin not a single. The bar vibes were so bad i was trying to sell her but now i won't as it's all so good.

On ABR i ignited a good debate on this with some saying that Vpower can't have made this effect but i can tell you that something changed on the bike in a big way and the only differance was the fuel.

So please tell me what you think of Vpower or super unleaded?

Mike
