Guys (n' gals) ... I don't believe it ... my latest milage figures ... no way they can be this good??
Total distance Rode on Saturday's (July 9th) group ride = 317km (198mi) @ 7.743 litres (2.045 US gallons) fuel consumed. Works out to an astonishing 96mpg!! No way ... my old Rebel couldn't get that ...
Riding was mostly on a rural costal 2-lane at 50-60kph (30-40mph) with a brief stint during the return leg on a secondary highway at 80kph (50mph) ... easy throttle & braking, laid-back riding ... mostly 2nd, 3rd & 4th gear.
Gotta say, this kinda gas milage seems unbelievable for a 650cc Bike??

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by arseholes!

My old GS450E produced 80mpg from S.F. to Seatle to L.A. running mostly 45-55 mph.
