milage will vary a lot with speed
on my old bike I get about 65 mpg if I keep it under 50 and shift at or below 4000rpm
but if I take it up to 5500 or 6000 then shift and run 55 to 60 mph I drop to 55 mpg, have heard repots than if it's ran at 75mph at approx 6800 to 7000rpm simluar bikes get 45 to 47 mpg
