75.3mpg

Just got home from a 1,000mile ride this weekend around central and eastern Oregon. I avg'd 62-66mpg but my best tank was 75! I made an effort to hunch down behind the windshield on that tank.
Great ride, great bike. Just needs a softer seat!!!

That looks like my kind of a ride. Oregon does have some great motorcycle roads.

Did you ride down I-84? i used to live in the Seattle area and came home for Christmas one year. I decided to take I-84. Somewhere close to Portland is an awesome looking waterfall.

Or maybe it needs a firmer seat........... With better support in the right areas.......

Looks like good riding

I agree. The stock seat is too soft. I now have a Corbin that most consider "hard as a rock" but its 10 times more comfie on a long ride than the stock seat. The key is to distribute your weight over the largest surface area possible.

One of these bikes is not like the others.

No, but probably because of the others he got an extra 3 - 5 mpg.
