    What kind of gas mileage do you get and what is your driving range?

    I ride a Stock, '05 1500N Kawasaki Vulcan Classic FI. Usually get right at 50 mpg, have gotten as high as 55. Have to keep it under 70 to get over 50.

    Have a 5 gallon fuel tank and usually fill somewhere around 200 miles. Low fuel light comes on at around 175 miles.

    My Trike gets mid 30's if you keep it under 65, over 70 and especially when I kick back with the cruise on 75 and she will suck down the 6 gallon tank in 170 miles or so.

    Didn't buy it for the MPG.

    Heritage Springer.....don't know the mileage but it's not good enough. Get tired of having to stop all the time and put gas in it. Doesn't seem like something you should have to do more than once in a day.

    With the chopper only having a 3 1/2 gallon tank, I do have to stop a little more aften than I like, but with the S&S Super Sidewinder motor I think I get exceptional mileage pushing 110 HP. Cursing around town like at rally's get I get low to mid 30's, but on the open road in high gear with very little horsing around low to mid 40"s. I have seen high 40's on occasion. I'm satisfied. Safe Riding, Glenn

    2012 Road Glide Ultra. Mid 40's most of the time. Most of my HD in the past average around 45. They get better the higher altitude I ride in. Live in Okla but travel alot.

    I am getting 42-45mpg on my '08RoadGlide. Around the 230 mile range I am putting in 5.2-5.5 gallons. It has a 2>1 Exhaust and a PCIII tuner. I think at over 70mph it would go down a bit. Its better than the 36-38 I was getting from my Suki LC1500 that only had a 4.1gal tank. That left about 3.5 or so to be safe. 125miles on the trip meter was time to be look'n for a fillem up station.

    45mpg average. Vulcan 900 classic. Light comes on at about 160, and it I usualy put in about 3.5 to 4 gal in a 5 gal tank. Haven't had the balls to see how far I can get on a tank, but I'm guessing 220ish.

    I've haven't been able to determine that because I like speed to much to be able to just cruise through a tank. Have a 2006 Honda VFR 800, it has 2 stage valves and 2 stage air intake(stock). Once you get over 6k rpms, the 2nd stage valves kick in. It's like a mild power band of a 2 stroke.
