I just got a 06 and have about 500 miles on it. I am getting 25-35 mpg . Is this correct? I got 33mpg on a long trip with freeway speeds. What is everyone else getting . I want to do some touring , but 100 miles to empty is not a good thing .
Thanx Airhead 1775

38 to 40 on high test, got 438miles on mine, mostly city riding so far...
Low 40s most of the time. Mid 20s on the Dragon
40 to 45 mpg on Turnpikes (around 80 mph I get 40 mpg - at 65 on our state roads around 45 mpg). Around town
, don't know cause I don't ride around town, just in and out. Of course I live in the WIDE OPEN SPACES and not traffic clogging LA
Anyhow,
and Congrads to Busa Mania
Anyhow,
Alright, when I ride like a good boy I get 50 MPG by the bike, of course the more I push the less I get. Keep it under 10K once in a while and you'll do better.

Bear in mind that in California, there are a TON of gas additives which reduce the mileage for their people AND they have smog equipment on their bikes which also has an adverse effect on gas mileage.
When I was out there, 33 to 37 was typical. Now that I've left, 39 to 44 is more typical. I still need to take the smog stuff off and see how that affects the mileage.

If you are stock and have done nothing to mess it up like i have you should be getting more than that if you are riding sensibly! The gas and smog crap shouldn't cause that much of a diff! Does it idle smoothly at 1100 rpm? Does it stall? If so throttle body sync could be off! New i was getting 43 around town, 45 to 50 on long trips. When you are on the freeway reset one of your trip meters the MPG will tell you what you are getting at that moment. I use #2 for rite now info # 1 i leave alone to get an average. Your rite MPG means more to me than just a gallon of gas. Good mpg means an efficient running eng in tune. If you are goin to pay the stealer for your 600 mile service i would complain about it they are supposed to check the TB for sync(Airhead1775 @ Jan. 04 2007,21:14) I just got a 06 and have about 500 miles on it.
