Two up on mine I will average around 39-42. I will get right about 200 before the fuel light comes on. I usually stop before that though, my wife needs to stretch out about every 2 hours. I use that as my fuel gauge.

Update...4th fill-up, 40.3 MPG. With the increase in gas $$ I'm glad it's improving. Will be doing 1st fluid change (1k service) within a week or 2.

If you don't have many miles on it you need to break it in first and mileage will get better as you go & also this bike weights more that the sportster.
