The MPG values you see in review should be seen as the low end of the range. IMO, they probably really flog these bikes when they review them and that results in poor gas mileage. For instance, reviews of my Marauder 800 place the MPG at around 39 stock. I've got one with an aftermarket exhaust and rejetted carbs and I'm getting 49 MPG. I don't really flog the bike, but I'm by no means easy on the throttle.
