It needed a good carb tuning thats all. Still ran top notch.

Weird thing about Buells is that the harder you beat on them the better the mileage is.

I did a run last year where we ran 170 miles hard (Skyway, Deals, other roads) banging off the rev limiter most of the way. Got 180+ miles before the reserve light even came on.

Regularly get 50mpg and I got the "race kit".

Congrats drewp, maybe it just needed 20K for break in.

I've seen 45 or better a few times on the instant economy meter.

I get 40 out of the gixxer, but I run it hard a lot of the time.

I get 45-50 out of the R1. I don't run super hard though.

I think I may have been getting 10-11mpg yesterday...

I got in the 60s with the 250 ninja.
