[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1197862, member: 13519"] I don't know what you'd consider "way less power," but that's not the case. There's a definate difference between riding here at 5-6 thousand feet than sea level, but unless your looking for it, I don't know that you'd realize it happened. They still haul ass just fine up here. FWIW, at low or high altitude, I get about the same mileage running long fast straights. It's when the twisties are added in that mileage gets higher. I think that even with sometimes higher revs, we're still running lower speeds against less wind resistance, and get better mileage. This bike hates the wind as even a slight headwind causes significant decreases in mileage. [/QUOTE]
