First long ride and mileage is really impressive for new bike!

[Wing'n it]

Well my F6B is 6 days old and I went on my first long trip this weekend with it. Rode from the Dayton Ohio area down to Dale Hollow lake in Tenn. I kept track of the miles on both trip meters and would fill the bike back up around 200 miles or so, was still showing about 1/4 tank left. Average fill up at those time was just over 4 gallons. Total trip miles was 611.5 and the bike used a grand total of 10.86 gallons for an overall mileage of 56.3 mpg's!! That's incredible!

You must have been "lightly" loaded with gear and very easy on the throttle to get that kind of mileage!!!..I am 75 , ride one up, and usually take it rather easy on the gas and I have never gotten more than 42mpg....Not that I really care, as gas mileage for most motorcyclists that enjoy the ride don't much care about mpg!!!

I was very surprised to get slightly over 43 mpg last week. I usually bump 40 mpg.
I am lovin' my F6B! 43K miles now and I can't imagine getting another right away.

As the MPG threads show, that. Ileage os unusual. Congrats on the new bike.

I get 41-43mpg consistently. 36-39 when towing my trailer.

Left Franklin on Saturday at 6:00am, arrived in Detroit at 6:45pm, got 37mpg.
....dang, that was a long ride, no rain and a clear shot up I-75 once I got to Knoxville.

I have a 2013 F6B in FL. My mileage is 33-35 at various speeds and locations here. I recently took a trip to North Carolina mountains, Dragon, out through KN & OK to CO & UT... when traveling in those states I got 43--46 MPG ??? I wonder if the humidity in FL has something to do with that difference. I am back around 34 again now that I am home.

37 mpg is what getting on my bike and I have less than 500 miles on mine. Not real easy on the throttle either.

Try getting on the highway at 70 mph instead of 35. Something is totally wrong with your figures if you were driving highway speeds.

Remind me to stay behind you.

In a little over 15k miles...40 - 44.

We have a local vendor that sells ethanol free 93 octane. I did one tank of that and it went up to 46mpg. Back to regular 87 octane and she is back to 43
