So what kind of gas mileage do you get? I'd guess around 60 mpg up to about 70mph... What happens at 80mph sustained speeds?
Today, keeping it around 70 (65-75) I got 43.7 mpg. The time I rode from Winnemucca to Fallon 130 miles around 80, I bottomed out around 35mpg. Usually I average 52mpg between intown rides and 60-65mph rides to Carson or Reno (60-odd miles either way).

If I avoid the highway or interstate, I get over 200 miles out of a tank. But since its virtually impossible to do that living in the sticks, I fill up around 160-170 miles which tends to be around 3.5 or 3.8 gallons.
