five gallons of Cam2 race fuel for about 8 Mile and a half hits, with the return ride back
and 4-5 half mile hits with the return ride
actually not bad if you think about it
about fifty miles for five gallons about 10 MPG

I used to get 34-42MPG...been riding more often this year and noticed she is thirsty. Started keeping track of mileage and my last 4 fill ups are getting 28MPG
wtf??!
35 of my 37 mile commute is on the interstate at 80MPH...170lb rider, gen1, and stock gearing so 80MPH is near 4.5RPM.
Did the fuel pump mod (drilled & inline filter), new plugs, throttle sync, clean air filter...what the hell happened?

As someone else mentioned, I would be concerned about keeping the inside of the motor clean with low gas mileage. The classic experience is a new pipe with tune, too rich at low throttle, carbon fouling and from there things just start going South.
I average between 48-52 mpg depending on the amount of ethanol in the gas, or summer/winter gas.

Low gas mileage keeps the motor clean? Whaaaa?
I just did 150 miles on my 2023 Gen III and averaged around 35 mph, I did some interstate, some secondary roads and a few back roads, kept speeds under 80 mpg on the hwy. I still have less than a 1000 miles on the clock so I'm hoping as time goes by and I accumulate some miles mpg will improve. With that said I really didn't buy this bike to be worried about mpg, I bought it to bring a smile to my face when I twist the throttle and the only time I worry about gas is when I start getting toward empty.
I guess my motor is going to be filthy because I plan to put as many miles on the clock as possible.
Low 20s=somethings wrong.

HI. On my Dunday ride I got 126 miles on the first 1/2 of the tank. Not on the busa but my 900 Vulcan.
I have four bikes, which do around 60 miles on a pint of Gatorade. Important to clean the motor though, prior to ride start.
That comes to around 480 miles per gallon.
That’s where you want to be.
When we talk about “relaxed riding” I am surrounded by quiet country roads lots of wooded areas. To me relaxed riding means including occasional full throttle for short periods. That gives me about the same mileage on a Gen 2.
Anything more than that over here, trying to use the full power of the Busa, two out of ten rides I will either end up in jail, or have a pretty bad crash.
So I am trying to understand how the folks getting mileage in the low 30’s get away with it.
Just in case you hadn’t noticed, your licence tag is not mounted quite level, lop sided slightly, left side hanging down about 2mm.I have four bikes, which do around 60 miles on a pint of Gatorade. Important to clean the motor though, prior to ride start.
That comes to around 480 miles per gallon.

Just my OCD kicking in there lol
You may wanna try shifting into top gear sometime lol.
I average 21 km per litre…. that’s 50mpg
But I’m cruising on 65 mph, not 80 to 90.
I think you’re missing the point about mpg.
It’s a handy indication of how efficient your engine is running… too lean, too rich or right in the sweet spot, a bit like assessing the way it’s tuned.
I look at my kms per litre ( mpg in your currency ) on my dash each tank full and each ride and I know immediately if it’s running rich or lean for whatever reason.
A bit like having an air/fuel ratio gauge on the dash.
It totally depends on throttle openings and engine load of course, but when it’s a constant cruising speed you just know how it’s efficiency is doing.
