My bike is a 1999 750 I was in no hurry . Most of the time i was running about 65. I would let it climb to 70 or so down the hills. When i got back to dequeen I had traveled 64 miles. I put in 1.17 gal. this mileage.I don't think will be the norm because I don't usually baby my bike like this. I was very easy on the throttleI will take a normal ride with some friends & report back.

Man,
Based on the number y'all are posting my mileage stinks in the mid 30's   Maybe I need some carb work?  Or should I back away from 6000 rpm
