Wouldn't you know it. I get around a steady 50 mpg/per tank. Now the reason I say this is because I only use regular 87 octane in my 883. What, with all this fuel economy, and the high price of gas, I should be saving even more money than you who use all that high octane stuff. Oh well. [8D]

RE: Miles per Gallon
i never tryed to figure out what kind of gas milage im getting,but if i had to guess i would say its around 40 mpg..i dont know how all you guys are getting so much better milage than me..maybe its because i am always riding it like i stole it..if i were to take it really easy on the bike im sure i could get better milage...but that would be no fun..

RE: Miles per Gallon
With the bike all dressed up; saddlebags, windshield, and sissybar with large rack somewhere around 40 mpg. Stripped down "naked" about 53 mpg. 90 octane is the best we get up here unless you blend in some 110LL avgas, at 2/1 the motor really gets happy. But I was told the avgas will dry up the seals so now I just add a packet of Rocket Fuel.
