MPG question

[Rocket Guy]

Is anyone getting the fuel economy indicated in this road test?

I am getting a little over 40 MPG.  My bike runs great and the plugs are light tan so I don't think it is running rich.

When I first bought my bike, I was getting just under 50mpg, but I was babying the bike then. I have since learned that this bike can take some abuse and it is really fun to ride up above 7,000rpm. So.... My bike gets just above 40mpg, now.

I get about 52 on mine. However, half my tank on every tank is on the freeway doing 70. I don't know if that helps or hinders.

I can't get any more than 43 with the MACS.  I was getting 46 with the stock exhaust.  I was hoping it would get better than the 53 to 55 I'm getting with the Triumph and 55 to 58 I'm getting with the duc.  Oh well.

Not the way I ride her!

But she still gets 45-50. (freeways)

Freeway or other highway riding - at least where sustained speeds of 55+ can be maintained is where mine gets its best mileage @ 50+ MPG.  Normal riding around town, I get about 45MPG & when I'm having 'too much fun' in the twisties, it drops to about 40MPG.  Sure beats my pickup!
