If nothing else it sucks gas big time...........

I can't complain much, I had a 01 Sporty and would get 35 mpg, it was just to much fun to roll on the throttle..........

With my '06 I have been running a tank to 185 miles before re-filling the tank. These are 90% highway miles with speeds between 70-75 mph.

When I filled up on Friday, I calculated 30 mpg. Today it looks similar; but I didn't actually add any gas. I only have 260 miles on the UC with Stage 1 and IED. I'm hoping the milage improves as the bike wears in and I switch to synthetic in the engine. The last 130 miles or so have been on the interstate where I keep RPMs between 3,000 and 5,000, 60 to 85 MPH, maybe a little higher if traffic allows.

So much for the theory that EFI is more efficient!

I just got 41 mpg, 2 up, pulling a loaded trailer at 70 mph into a 15-20 mph headwind this last weekend.

Carbed with K&N a/f and Rush slip ons.
