im at 35 mpg and have been since day one.i guess it depends on how you ride

If I ride alone (more aggressive) I get 32 to 35 mpg, but longer rides with wife I have gotten 52 mpg. I'm usually 35-38 range. I have noticed big difference in brands of gas as well. BP seems best and convinence store brands with more ethanol alot worse.

'08 12R

Was averaging around 35mpg with a mix of city/highway, but did a decent amount of idling in traffic.

Ran some seafoam through the fuel/oil, got a bit more aggressive, now I'm getting around 40-45mpg.

Also I'm around 3k miles now, got my right side scoop on, and a breather reroute, noticed it runs a good deal cooler too. Probably helped some.

I get 38-39 making short trips in the city and 50 on the highway. Goes up a little in hot weather, down in cold or rainy weather. Also just a note, every bike I've had so far has done much better mileage at high altitude than sea level. I haven't ridden the buell at altitude yet.
