Wow, some of you are getting incredible mpg out of your bikes. Even my old sv650 would get around 45mpg at best.
I think much depends on the kind of riding and where you ride. I know cruising down the Blue Ridge Parkway at 45 mph with no stop signs for 400 miles I get really great mileage. But If I get into Balto or DC and never get out of 2nd it really suffers.

That is impressive MPG there! Is that with 51HP/6-speed, or 47HP/DCT?
6-speed. I don't usually drive aggressively, but if I permit it more, it brings it down to ~60.
2022 Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak - 650 miles. Avg 37 mpg.
Ducati V4s are not known for their fuel mileage.
Service light illuminated @ 622 miles. Will take it in for its 600-miles check at the end of August.

2001 Honda Reflex (NPS250)
- Just crossed 12k miles, got it at 10k miles couple months ago. Previous two owners (2001-2015, then 2015-2022) put just a tick over 10k miles on it in. Let's see if I can get it to hit 100k miles.
- Current MPG is 65-70 depending on riding style.
- Maxes out at 85MPH indicated, which is 80MPH by GPS. But at anything over 75MPH fuel efficiency definitely takes a hit, drops in the high 55-60MPG.
- Anyone knows why Honda put a two-stage CVT variator on this thing? End result is a HUGE power dip between 30mph and 50mph... Disappointed, but thankfully the single-stage "normal" CVT fits from 2004-2007 Honda Big Ruckus. May lose a few MPH on the top end, but better fuel efficiency and improved acceleration should be worth it.
P.S. Rode HD 883, and while I totally get why people love HD, it definitely didn't feel like my cup of tea... So far the twist-n-go & flickability of the scooter life attracts me more.

2013 Harley Tri Glide. 23000 miles. I get 30-31 generally. If I putt around about 35 mpg is the best I've seen. Top speed is 100-105 mph.
2001 Honda Reflex 250cc
Most recent fill up, lots of wide open acceleration in stop-n-go traffic, or headwind on the highway, so mileage suffered a bit...
105 miles / 1.7 gallons = ~62MPG.

500 miles on my monkey now. Last tank was 134 miles and it figured out to 165 miles to a gallon. Its a 125 cc 4 speed clutch with a top speed of 55 to 60mph.

2002 Harley 883 Sportster - 19,295 miles on it - last run to Lake Livingston ,TX - 55 mpg
Seems like most bikes I’ve had got 50-60 mpg if I wasn’t riding like an idiot. My little 230 does 70mpg if I don’t wring it’s neck trying to go highway speed.
2008 Harley Electra Glide. 59,686 miles, have been averaging 49 mpg but have some efficiency upgrades on deck (Redline SI-1, new air filter, NGK Iridium IXs). Gonna take a nice trip this weekend & post numbers
