When I first got my bike I got around 43 mpg. At that time I was keeping my RPM's around 2500. Over the last riding season I bumped my RPM's up to around a 3000 average and my mileage improved to 48-52 mpg. I was suprised but it worked for me.

I used to get about 45 or so per gallon... I ride the bike harder now so that has moved to about 40.
