Good MPG...44-46, will be in 5th between 2000-2500, 50-60 MPH.

What he said.

I get 40 running 2 up if I run in that speed and just cruise along.
Run it up to 70 and I get 35

Fully loaded two up for us is a dismal 40-42 mpg at 75-80 mph, but she'll squeek 50 mpg if speeds are under 55mph. I'm usually controlling speed by my next fuel availability. If someone in our group makes the potty stop I get to top off and keep up!
