My average fuel mileage is 40-42 unless I am feeling my oats, then it drops to 37-38. I just completed a 1600 mile tour with a couple from New York. They were on rented HD's, and since I was being paid to guide them around NorCal, I adjusted my pace down to theirs...kept it in the 3500 to 4000 rpm range mostly, and damn! Shazaam! and Holy Gas Mileage...50 to 55 mpg all week, on the coast, in the Cascades, in the Sierras...at least a thousand miles of twisties (SR-1/SR-36/SR-3/SR-89/SR-4/SR-108/SR-120) a bit of slab, and some cruiser sections as well...
Now I know how all of the FJR riders who get this kind of gas mileage do it...they ride it like it's a Harley... :lol:
...and their tires pobably last 10,000 miles too...
