Mixed road riding, I appear to be getting 60mpg (imp gals)

I think I read somewhere that these bikes have a tank capacity of approx 11 litres.....so, could not impossible to live with, range-wise.

Not definitive yet though...

That sounds about right, for a big twin. In June I and a load of Army mates did a battlefield tour of Bastogne. Over the seven days away, because of the way my R111 is tuned, I kept it under 3G most of the time and I got 55mpg.
Went out to play the other day and I’m sure I saw the fuel gauge physically dropping down, I haven’t properly checked, but it probably the high 20mpg great fun!
Incidentally I’m up Nth Yorkshire for a week in last week of August.

Yep....same with my Rocket.
I can easily achieve 50 to 58 mpg average on a run, but only if I ride with a mindset on sensible throttle usage......no rocket launching or the fuel disappears as fast as the bike.

My gauge works on the top 1/2 of the tank so it goes down very fast.
