I wish I knew why my mileage is so much lower than everyone else's. Maybe I get into higher RPMs too much but I'm not riding like a racer or anything (like that would be possible on this bike).
Samato I'm right there with you. 52 to 56 is my normal MPG. I have gotten 68 or so but I did it by riding on a long trip and cruising at 45 mph or so. However I do tend to "jack rabbit" a bit more on this bike than I do a bigger bike. A tune up has helped and allowed me to hit closer to 60MPG on average. But I get no where near what other riders are getting on this board.
