    We have gotten as low as 28.6 and as high as 31.4 MPG with our 2013 RTS SE-5 riding 2-up. We've only had it 3 weeks tomorrow and have put 1650 miles on it. The best milage was riding about 58 MPH in 4th gear on two lane highway with about 10 miles of city driving thrown in. The worst was today with about 80 miles of 66 MPH on four lane highway in 5th gear and the rest was at 58 in 4th gear and about six miles of city driving. I use the cruise control whenever safe and never try to tear the teeth off the drive belt when accelerating. Love this RTS!

    Is this a 1330 triple, or have you achieved amazing results on a V-Twin??
