RE: MPG
This question's been around a few times and if you do a search I'm sure you'll find a host of answers. As for me, I have a 2005XL1200R and depending on whether it's in-town or highway miles, I get between 50 & 58 mpg. I find I get the 58 mpg if I'm in the 50-60 mph range. Anything below or above that andmy mileage starts to drop off. I run SE II exhaust and a stock AC at the moment...

I am on the throttle to much to get an estimate of mpg,I'll check it this summer when I get some miles on the bike, only 750 miles at present.

RE: MPG
On average with city and highway..about 48 - 52..sometimes better some not so good. If I ride in a Parade, that tank will get about 25 mpg...something about all that throttle bumping...???!!!!
