70-80 mph. sound about right? 93 if it matters.

oh yea, xieds, cycle shacks and high flow ac.

 

My stage one Nightster averages 45 MPG.. so, sounds about right. It also seems like I get better mileage when I'm getting on it ratherthan when I am just cruising around.

 

yep, sounds right!

 

MAN! I miss my Sporty!!

 

I'm getting about the same out of my '07 XLC.

It sucks because I had gotten used to getting 60 mpg out of my 400cc Honda. Still, it's better gas mileage than my Mercury Mariner hybrid.

 

sounds about right,,,the funny thing is my 103 road king gets the same mpg at that speed...

 

Thanks fellas. Just checking. Ive got about 1700 miles on it and it runs great. Wanted to make sure I was in the normal MPG range. Im pretty hard on the throttle so Im happy with what Im getting. Fun bike!

 

Yeah, also miss the 67 MPG / 250 miles per tank on my previous bike, a Honda Shadow 750. But it didnt run like a scalded dog like my 1200 XL Custom. Getting 40-44 MPG / 155 miles per tank. Just had the 1000 mile service done by an Indy and went with AMSOIL 20-50 in engine and tranny...

 

Man, that is fantastic!!
I wish, I wish..

 

yea. i had an 08 vstar 1100 for a few years prior to buying my custom. The difference in power is huge. The sporty is a lot more bike, and with the Sundowner, its just as comfy, and handles better.
