Nothing wrong with a new thread. I have never got less than 50 mpg on my 2005 xb12scg.
 
2006 xb12r right around 48-52 driving 55mph to the city and city driving anywhere from 35-45mph with traffic lights. How about you?
 
Dang what is wrong with my bike. I'm only getting about 35-40 mpg on mine. Hopefully its just because mine is only a 9 and its pulling alot more weight since I'm a fatty. Does this sound plausible?
 
35-40 on my 08 SS. No clue why it's so low. I'm 195, 6'7", so maybe it's my height? Not much surface area though, pencils don't make good kites.
 
I think what most people forget to look at is how much they actually put in at a fillup.

I normally do 140-150 and then put in just over 3gal.
I've only ever ran it empty once and that was the middle of the night without any 24hr stations around.
 
60 mpg on the highway, 45 city. I'm 5'7" and 180 lbs. A lot of reports on BWB of DDFI2 getting better fuel economy than DDFI3. Must be the stock throttle mapping because otherwise it makes no sense [confused]

If I push it I can get about 160 miles with out filling up that's all highway miles. I usually fill up after about 130 miles.
 
I've only had my 05 Firebolt for a couple of weeks now, but I've been consistently been getting ~55 mpg's.

I really like this two wheeled marvel
 
I have an 08 xb12s with 1500 miles and last fill up I only got 103.8 miles, which calculates to 33 mpg. I ride very conservatively with the rpm rarely going up to 4k. I think as I break it in more, I'll get more miles between fillups (cross fingers).
 
I have an 08 xb12scg. Bought it with 820 miles on it and only got about 33 miles per gallon till I got up to around 3500-4000 miles on it then gas mileage kept increasing to average around 50 now.
 
07 xb12: With my 240 tire, free spirits exhaust and open air box and tuned ECM to run rich... I get around 40 MPG

I just completed a 600 mile trip on my XB12R and averaged 53 mpg. Filled up about every 160 miles with 3.0 gallons.
