Started out with around 32 up to 36 mpg. last few tanks have been right at 39 mgp. Still only have 800 miles on it, but tomorrow will be the answer since the PCIII, AC and pipes have been installed.

I am getting a solid 39-40 mpg every fill on the RK. Bike is bone stock except seat change and sissy bar. Driven mostly country/highway miles and I drive like an old man with an occasional flashback to glory days. Bike is just aproaching 1000 mile mark. Would love to see it get to 45 after breakin... course then the pipes, A/C, and tuner will get added by the spring! and the milage will prob drop.

Just checked my RG last weekend. 1300 miles so far on the bike. Getting about 35-40 miles per gallon average city/highway.

My 05 Deuce with EFI gets a solid 45-50 average!!!!!
