One-up driving - for a tank, my best has been 73mpg. I had one tank, that I will not comment on, it was high, really high!
Two-up with my sweetheart, I normally get 58 to 65 mpg. - Thats imperial gal. We use liters up here for fuel and I have been driving since Gas was 50 cents to fill a 1 Imp Gal Laquer thinner can to the very top.
My worst was a 1978 Suzuki GT 380, with the Secret Agent Blue smoke screen function. 5.5Gal tank and it never got more than 23mpg, and ran out of gas 5 times with it. The last time it ran out of gas, I pushed it 2 miles to a Station, filled it, drove it home, and put a "For Sale" sign on it. Nuff of that!
Cheers - I'l post a pic later - have one over at the blog. Centurion

i was thinking about re-gearing my 600F4i. has anyone else regeared a 600-750cc bike, and what kinda mpg were you getting? seems to me if you can have ~100 hp on a bike and still get 60-70mpg, that would be amazing: great acceleration and great mpg
