Living in Brooklyn and riding 2-up (probably around 400lbs combined) most of the time, I get about 33-34 mpg. Out on the Jersey Turnpike down to Philly and back, I was at 43.4 mpg. Both are w/o the windshield, w/ saddlebags and 2-up riding. I'd love to break that 50 mpg mark.

I'm not sure what mine is right now, still breaking it in and haven't bothered to track it. Another couple of weeks and it will be fully broken in and I can let you know what I'm seeing stock and once I get it setup the way I want, I'll compare.

I think the only 2 people here who have 08s are Redbeard and 1steadyloser. You could PM them and ask. That way if this thread gets buried they will still see your question.


You can add me too... not exactly sure for mpg but I usually get between 250-300km per tank, that's combination city/highway but mostly city. Stock except for drilled first set of baffles.

I got 53 MPG yesterday riding up U.S. 1, A1A and the Loop during my 205 mile trip starting from Orlando. New air filter the only recent change. Used mid-range 89 rated fuel. I usually get around 43 - 44.

It is so much more fun riding the Loop without the 50,000 other folks trying to do it at the same time during bike week
