very impressive results to be sure...I never did that well probably due to the fact that the bike was hauling around more azz with me on it than with you on it lol. Plus I have a taller windscreen and large givi saddlebags that negatively affect aero in addition to my physical size...I did well to get 60 mpg fairly often with careful riding and keeping speeds under 65 mph. I never dreamed when I bought that bike in 2007 that I would keep it this long...but it has been such a good all rounder that I just cant part with it. And now of course its so old no one else would pay anything much for it.
I found that with the load I had on the bike that anything under 3500 rpm in 5th and 6th the engine didnt like much and in 3rd and 4th gear under 3000 it was unhappy. Even at that it didnt want full load on the engine at 3500 in 6th...you had to be up near 4000 before it seemed happy with full throttle.
