When I do the math it looks like it would be about 200+ miles. Does anyone have any real life experience?
My mileage experience has been very close to this, too.My mileage is all over the place, but since I have had the bike, the total average is 43.62 MPG. I have gotten as high as almost 51 MPG and as low as 38.5 MPG. Just depends on what I was doing that day and how frisky I was riding. see attached snip from my bike log.
Yes, it should 'loosen up' with more miles, say between 1000-1500. How many do you have on yours so far, and what kind of riding are you mostly doing? Stop-and-go city, 75+ mph highway, or more leisurely in-between cruising? The more you can stay comfortably in 5th gear (by comfortably, I mean between 2500-3K rpm, or about 45-60 mph), the better your mileage will be.I seem to be averaging 38mpg, which seems low compared to others. I have 1400 miles on mine and the tall windscreen. Should it improve as it gets more broken in?
Where are you headed?Hope to have it installed before my August departure date
I have 1400 miles on it and do a pretty even mix of city and highway riding. I have probably been riding at higher revs too. If I am at 2500-3k rpm I down shift.Yes, it should 'loosen up' with more miles, say between 1000-1500. How many do you have on yours so far, and what kind of riding are you mostly doing?

Yeh I got about 220 on a run! Filled up but indicator told me I had 37 miles left don't know how accurate it us?When I do the math it looks like it would be about 200+ miles. Does anyone have any real life experience?
Nice data/ spread sheet!My mileage is all over the place, but since I have had the bike, the total average is 43.62 MPG. I have gotten as high as almost 51 MPG and as low as 38.5 MPG. Just depends on what I was doing that day and how frisky I was riding. see attached snip from my bike log.
Yep. I made it originally a few years ago for my VTX. I kept infor on that one for three years and it was interesting to see what it cost me to ride it per mile. I adapted it for this bike and try to input all my accessory and maintenance purchases as well as the gas. If you study it, there are some pretty cool things it does.Nice data/ spread sheet!
I like better than my table like ones.
Did you make it?
