I routinely get around 50mpg from my 500. probably closer to 40 when I'm flogging the crap outta it.

My bike usually averages about 40 mpg; if I really baby it ( but who wants to do that LOL ) I can squeak out alittle more but most of the time 40 is my limit and sometimes alittle less because I ride hard.

33.24mpg for my last tank on my bike... Kinda surprised that I got 17.09 out of the last tank on my truck. Mostly commuting for both, barely any highway.

You can ride a Buell XB pinned to the limiter from the time you start it, until it's empty and get 40mpg.

Yep... Crazy white man magic.

Makes it even crazier knowing that by the end of my Buell's run, I was only getting about 8mpg.
