I just have to say that since my switch to the busa my riding world as changed !!! I'm changing from a TLR 1000 to the busa but I've noticed that when riding in stop & go traffic my gas mileage sucks. Or is there some re-mapping or tuning that I may need to look into. On the highway mileage is great but I can go thru a good amount of gas when riding in the city. I stay just outside of Atl. so I hit the city quite often. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best way to get better gas mileage

little over 2,000 miles ......I do push around 42 mpg on the interstate .
Geez guys you are riding a performace motorcycel.. 5 miles per gallon in the city and 45 is pretty good. It could be worse my Busa gets 18 mph on high bosst and 40 cruising. Nothing wrong with your set ups that is just the way it is. Honda 100cc get 85 miles per gallon.
But it's my revenge vehicle for the other cagers !I wish I had your problems. I get 80 miles to a full tank.
Amen, if you buy a Ferrari, don't complain about the insurance rates and gas mileage. The Busa wasn't made to be economical transportation. It is the fastest production bike made. The gas mileage isn't going to be 85 MPG. Just pull back on the throttle when you start to think about the gas mileage, that rush you feel in the pit of your stomach will make you forget all about it.
if ya are getting over 25mpg ya arnt ridding it right
i got a link for a vespa ya want it?
Amen , my brother !!!
Like you I moved from a TL1000R to also add a Busa. Of course I don't notice any city traffic difference since it's only 3 miles (or less) in any direction to be in the OPEN Plains
. Mileage isn't as good as the TLR, but the ride and Power more than makes up for the decrease of (MAYBE) 4 mpg
Joking aside, I get around 41 mpg highway and 34-35 riding thru Oklahoma City

It's just the price you gotta pay. Trust me I don't expect Honda Civic numbers. It's pays off when I twist the thottle to the stop.I wish I had your problems. I get 80 miles to a full tank.

About the same here!Joking aside, I get around 41 mpg highway and 34-35 riding thru Oklahoma City
