Most of the riding has been conservative at 40-55 mph on small back roads, getting used to the new bike, maybe 35-40 miles or so at 60+mph. on a highway.
We'll see what happens in the future, but so far so good.  :2tup: |
I'm getting 50 - 52 mpg on my V Star Custom, about 20 lower than I was getting with the GZ (of course, I can go 75 mph on the highway all day long now). I did just install a National Cycle windshield, and when I did that with the GZ I found that increased my mpg by 8- 10 or so - hope I get a similar result this time, but I'm thinking it will be something less with a bike and engine slightly bigger. But even 50 mpg beats almost any car out there, of course.
