34 mpg so far

[andrew]

35 mpg is about right. I get 137 miles before the fuel light comes on. I think it has quite a big reserve though.

Thanks guys. I do agree, it's too fun to whack the throttle; one's mileage will certainly vary.



Kindest regards,

When rideing by myself or others who ride fairly hard I average 31-35mpg

Been out for two days in the sun and rain got 35mpg which is not bad for the 500 miles i did . Just mucking around about it drops to under 30 mpg just can't help p**sing off BMW MER Adui drivers even more fun than on the busa----

Hold on, I used Tune boy to correct my Speedo, so now the odometer is off??? How much??

by the same amount the speedo used to be off. It's a trade-off...accurate odometer, inaccurate speedometer, or accurate speedometer, inaccurate odometer. Which do you prefer?

I got 50 mpg going to Washington D.C. while towing a camping trailer. Mostly due to riding in a herd of Harleys that made 1600 miles seem like 16,000,000,000,000 miles at 35mph. I spent 5 days decelerating :x

It's all in the wrist Will. The more fun you have, the worse the fuel economy. :twisted:

I dont know what it equates to but 2005 red rocketIII with cat bypass and standard pipes, 2up (and im not that small), and even towing a trailer - im getting 200miles with 2litres of fuel still in the tank

LMG What is it like towing with a Rocket ?
