That's damn good Don. Last check I made was coming back from San Jose a week ago. Gassed up in Salem and kept it in 6th gear and 65mph all the way home. Refilled at 191 miles and did the math...45mpg.

As an average, I usually get 40-42, and a lot of that is around town. On mostly highway runs, I'm seeing upper 40's, and on one 3-hour straight highway run (~180 miles), the numbers said I got 51. Haven't looked at what it is when I ride 2-up. Regardless of what it is, it's still WAY better than my car, and LOTS more fun.

Wait till you do the 97, that will change lol. Actually, when we stopped and you asked me my milage this was the first time I even thought about what kind of milage I was getting since the build.

On the same trip I averaged 43 mpg Hwy, but around town it sucks...
