On my GZ I have hit 75+ a couple of times.

MPG around town 55 to 60 mpg, on my trip I averaged between 67 to 72 mpg.

My speed and gas mileage increased when I installed a windshield, and properly adjusted it.

Alan,

Easy Rider explained it very well. All cables stretch, and should be checked from time to time. You should be able to squeeze a few more mph out but remember there is only so much a 250 can give.

Hey Chris I am happy getting 90+ mpg up here in TORONTO CANADA because gas prices just went upto $1.36 / litre ( $6.12 / gal ).

the car has to sit unless cold or rain say otherwise.

No fair making a comparison using Imperial Gallons !!
How do you arrive at $6.12 ?
I thought the US gallon was smaller.......???

I hit 81 or so on the interstate yesterday.

I'm serious. Ever since I dropped my bike it's been running better than ever. It wasn't a touch of 80 either. It was sustained. I even had to get in the fast lane.

Damn, if I knew that would work, I would have taken my bike out and knocked it over a few times, insteaad of trading up. :neener: :lol: :lol:

I lost control of my front wheel in some gravel trying to avoid a psycho dog and ever since, I've been in smooth riding-even toned exhaust noted-a little extra speed in each gear-heaven.

Thanks, F$!*$(^$ dog

Man, I must have the worst gas mileage of any GZ 250 owner. I get 48-54 MPG! I can get the bike up to 75 mph in the right conditions though.

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).
