Been picking up alot of hours at a hospital 100 miles one way from home. Put BST wheels on her last year and a single sided titanium pipe. Dropped over 60 lbs off of the bike. But was amazed that my gas mileage actually went down even after losing the weight. Brocks told me that was common due to the pipe being opened up and much higher performance. The flickability of the bike is unbelievable now. Not far off of a liter bikes quickness.
It is so dang hard for me to keep it under 80 mph. Last week I had 3 days in a row where the wind was directly on the nose and blowing like stink. Approx wind speed was 30-40mph. I barely got 35 mpg. Now the winds dropped to normal and I kept the bike at 70. Filled up after 100 mile one way trip and was astounded to see 46 mpg. But do you guys have trouble on the highway keeping it under 80 also? I am 5'9" and 180 lbs. What kind of gas mileage are you seeing at freeway speeds?
