Brahma, with stock intake, TORs and Triumph TORs tune dropped as low as 26 MPH when the front bearing were seized up and the idle was high. Last week end I got 37MPH coming back from Gettysburg. Best I ever got was riding north out of Denver to Sturgis in 2014, I hit 42 Mph.
That's not very fast. It should be able to go faster than that - even with stock filters. :D
 
I remember like 20 years ago, one of the big time truck makers was crowing about their truck that got a whopping 10 mpg! I reckon it was wheezy on hills too, but ya never hear anyone saying anything about it anymore...so long as you got an APU and don't idle during downtime!
I pull a car trailer which is an aerodynamic mess. :) I've heard of a few driver claiming 9+mpg, but That's with light loads driving 60 downhill both ways...
 
That's what I got last check, but the grades, and downshifting around here don't contribute to maximum economy.
 
packed and loaded, but not to bad, 90 to 100mph all day 33mpg same gear easy ride from raton to chama 65 to 75mph 46+mpg
 
After riding mostly in the city lately, I got 33 MPG at the first fill-up this morning. After riding through the mountains today (elevations between 6,000' and 10,000', hot weather, mostly at about 50-60 MPH), I was pleasantly surprised to get 48 MPG when I refilled the tank on the way home tonight. Stock 2014 Roadster.
