    Usually in the mid/high 30's if I'm all in town. High 40's to low 50's on the highway depending on where in the 65/135 mph range I'm traveling. Will calculate something exact now that I've switched to full synthetic oil.

      about 35-40 with my riding style (very spirited probably 2/3 time) on a stock 01 750....if the trip is mostly not spirited, just cruising at 75 or so, I'll get about 40-45....

      I am interested to see what it gets when I get it back from the shop after an Ivan's kit, 2 bros slip on, carb service, valve adjustment, and some more stuff....

                      I'm getting around 33mpg in town and about 40mpg LARGE 2 up on the freeway.
                      Ivans jet kit is currently installed but looking to change this to factory pro.

                        62 is damn good...best I ever got on my Kat was 50-55mpg....I was staying at 60-70 on country roads heading for Helen GA. On my V-Star I get maybe 35-38mpg. But the exhaust and jet kit take some mpg's away, stock they should avg 40-43...but i'll take more power and a better sound over mpg's any day...

                          My kat averaged in the low 40's with mixed riding. 42-43 mpg. It was tuned perfectly and no aftermarket.

                          My ZX12 through 2 tanks seems to be getting low 30's and Im riding considerably faster.

                            Anywhere from 40-48 mpg. Average about 45.
