It may have been mentioned, but I recall the gearing being spec'd out differently for the Vaquero??? since it's designed for primarily solo riding?

ALL the 1700's have exactly the same internal and external ratios.

A typical dyno session might add 25 miles to the odo, more if I perform an advanced map. So prolly my skoot has accrued maybe 200 mls on the dyno. The rest is my butt on the seat and the rubber ion the road!

You still have along way to catch Gary (gv550) on his Voyager at over 250,000 miles :)
Joking aside, that is impressive mileage.
