happy with fuel enonomy
Haven't been paying attention to my fuel economy as I have been happy with the distances I have been getting per tank. However, I went out on a little putt this weekend and thought I would check to see where I was at with the fuel useage. I was quite pleasantly surprised. I was running 75 - 80 miles per hour pretty consistently - occasionally hitting 90 to 100 during extended passing on the 2 lane roads...

Glad you are happy. That is all that matters!
54 MPG, that is pretty good...you'll be hard pressed to see that kind of mpg out of these new EFI bikes that "run better & are more efficient".

I have an app for fuel economy on my iPhone. Every time you fill up you tell it how many gallons and your odometer reading. I consistently get around 38-40 total average. I have gotten 40+ on times I have ran a lot of highway miles. Of course I only have a 2 gallon tank, so this is done a gallon at a time lol.

The main reason for purchasing a bike was for the fuel economy. I can go about 3 weeks going to and from work and just around town before i have to fuel up, even when I do fill up I dont think I have put more than 11 bucks in. Certainly better than filling up my truck every 3 weeks with 80 bucks.
