I can't say that I can see a difference in mileage with/without my panniers. KLR 650 (Kawasaki KLR 650) | Fuelly

The way the bike handles 75+mph speeds is vastly different but on paper it seems negligible. I prefer to not have them as that a wobble develops with headwinds/passing trucks/speeds over 80mph when the panniers are on, but then I'd have vastly reduced space for road-trip essentials.
