My 2003 XL1200S get 63 mpg on country roads all day long.
My 2011 FLTRU recently got 48 mpg on a trip averaging 55 mph.

You didn't prove it with pics. Or maybe he means odometer.

'08 Wide Glide, top end rebuilt at 120K when it was almost 4 years old. The bottom end and tranny are still original.

Bought the Limited when the WG was being rebuilt, it gets most of the riding time now.

Those are some pretty serious miles, especially for an 08 Wide Glide. My 01 Road King went from 97-98K to zero miles when completely rebuilt and new speedometer installed. Still in the shop but one day soon. I have been telling myself that for months....

Only about 50K on the Ultra (24K when I got it).


If I lived somewhere I could ride year round there would be a bunch more...
