    True, and not only that but because we are having to use our choke/enricher more right now than when its warmer.

    I usually get high 30s/low 40s city and mid-high 40s highway depending on how itchy i get with my throttle. 2000 750 with exhaust, jet kit, and full hard luggage set that adds a TON of drag (primarily the trunk)

    IIRC, I got around 35mpg most of the time. Sometimes higher, sometimes lower, but that was about the average. Details of the bike are in my garage, and I rode it like the grim reaper was chasing me.

    2000 Kat 600. Totally stock. About 52mpg on the highway. A little less (~2-4 mpg) when commuting and dealing with traffic.

    My 90 kat 600 gets a consistant 50mpg when cruising solo or 2up (shifting around 6k rpm), running it hard (9k-12k+rpm) it drops to around 35mpg. My 86 700 Fazer and 05 GSX-R750 both average 45mpg when cruising, about 30-35mpg running hard.
