Fuel Mileage

[runnerhiker]

(Commuting's not usually great for mileage - has your ratio of commuting to touring changed?)

Not really ... I was commuting when I got the 47+ mpg and since I got the S1000R I tend to ride the RS like its a touring bike (although I "blow out some carbon" once in a while ).

Stands to reason if it is flowing more air then more gas has to be proportioned to keep the right ratio. Ah well compared to the S1000R its economical. That thing only manages 37 mpg and 150 miles per tank.

I get 45 mpg out of my S1000XR and 54 mpg from my RS. As mentioned before, that's a function of the right hand twist. On the XR, the computer says I average 45 MPH, pretty slow, I don't do much 70 MPH highway on my day rides.
