sestreet,

05 Ultra - 32 mpg - sucks - and that is in the flat land plains of God's country - Wisconsin.

I grew up in the North End of Beantown - with all that freakin traffic out there I could see why your milage really stinks.

DYNO is probably in both our futures.

Go sox - bruins - celtics - patriots!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sm=deadhorse.gif] I've read many of these threads over the past year; they come and they go. In an other few weeks another one will start up.


The consensis seems to be about 40 mpg plus or minus depending upon one's riding style and or modifications. In other words: if you are getting less than 35 mpg something is wrong and if you are getting more than 45 mpg, on a bagger, some one is blowing smoke.
