That's the best I could ever hope for is 34-38mpg and all I have is an Ultra 1999. That is highway milage...39mpg from Harrisburg to West Chester on the turnpike...

Just took my 09 RK on a 5,100 mile trip and averaged 47 mpg. All two lane roads and a few mountains.

Not sure, since I typically stop every 125-150 miles and top off, stretch the legs, smoke, pee and rehydrate. I always have gas left when I stop.

38-40 city 38-42 highway

Used to get 60mpg highway on my lowrider, and about 42 city. The big kite on the forks creates plenty of wind resistance.
