Last week I went for a cruise (yes, "cruise" – I rode with a Yamaha Royal Star and a Harley Trike). The day was calm, the road fairly straight two-lane (almost all fifth gear), I was one-up, no bags (well, a tank bag), Cee Baily windshield a little lower than usual, most of the route was at 6,000+ feet, cruising speeds at 60-65 with a little at 70 and 75. The route was 212.9 miles. I filled, bubbling fuel in the filler, at the beginning, then fueled exactly the same at the end, and it took 3.91 gallons. That's 54.45 MPG! I've gotten 49 a few times and I think 50 once. Usually, loaded and two-up yields 42-45. Once in AZ cruising at 85 into a 30-40 mph headwind two-up and loaded, got 32! It's nice to experience "firsts" after 12 years riding FJRs.
