Unless it is your sole source of transportation, the bike is a TOY... last time I checked, fuel economy and related concerns shouldn't be part of the "playing with the toys" equation...
I quit worrying about fuel economy a long time ago on mine. I knew when I put the high bars, bags and full rear fender on the bike that it would suck down the gas in a hurry.
It IS kind of pathetic though that a full dress 1500 Drifter, or a friend's Twin Cam Road King get better fuel economy than a 652cc single.
If I wanted to ride for fuel savings, I have a 248cc twin and a 99cc single. Both Honda CL Scramblers with low exhaust conversions, TT style.
