I should've noticed the auxillary tank, missed that. And I guess that color is the Mars Orange and not the Scarlet Red, my bad. 980 miles?! Sweet....
When gas hits $5 a gallon, I'm finding and buying the nicest 90 I can. I'd love to throw one on a motobike hitch carrier to take with me on trips into the backcountry. I think they are the perfect bug-out-vehicle; lightweight, great MPG, dual sport-ish, etc. What a great toy to have tucked away in the garage, your FIL is one lucky guy.
OK, I'm done daydreaming/thread-swerving now.....
