Fuel Economy

Post by cdbugler »

What's everyone getting on their Rocksters. It seems as if mine has dropped pretty significantly lately. I don't know if it's my riding style/habits that have changed, or if something is off with the bike. When I first got it (around 11k miles) it was getting about 40-42 MPG. Now (about 17K miles) it's getting around 36 at best.

Any thoughts?

You think yours is bad?

25 MPG, when I'm lucky. I mostly ride in the city. No windscreen. Carrying 250 lbs on a 6'4" frame. I've considered changing my riding habits, but that would take all the fun out of riding... :twisted:

with a few hundred kms and mostly urban jaunts (50% 2-up, who woud've thought?) - 24mpg or 12l/100km.

It's probably how I drive but my old VFR would've run D-R-Y long before the Rockster would've ;)
