First Road Trip Complete! MPG included

[Ryker571]

First road trip complete! About 700miles round trip. I had no issues whatsoever (except some cold hands towards the end as it got a bit chillier than I had expected.)

Mileage wasn't too bad, I posted the numbers below for those who may be interested. I can't wait until I can hit the road again, though I may wait until the new wheel nuts get installed. I don't want to push my luck!

For the gas milage, the numbers were better when I played it more conservative (55-65), when I decided to push it a bit 75/80+, it wasn't near as good, but soooo worth it...lol. I would have like to test it's max because even at 90, I had throttle left.

109.7 mi @ 3.903 gal (28.10 mpg)
123.4 mi @ 31.181 gal (38.79 mpg)
82.2 mi @ 2.162 gal (38.02 mpg)
78.5 mi @ 2.643 gal (29.70 mpg)
64.1 mi @ 2.546 gal (25.17 mpg) - I was ready to be home as it was coooold...lol)

I filled up at shorter stints on the back end because I was on the back roads in the middle of nowhere and cotton/peanut fields don't supply fuel. I wonder if that had to do with the lower mpg calculations? Either way I had a blast!

Well you are breaking in a New machine ….. MY 14 RT was giving about 33 MPG for the first 2000mi., then things began to improve .... now I average btwn 38-39 mpg, depending on how twisty the roads I've been traveling on. … I'm sure your Ryker will get better as the total miles increase ….. thanks for the info …..

Nice report, as far as mpg goes Ryker will get better. I have 2019 Rally 2300 miles it will be month old this Friday. On my last 2 fill ups I am averaging 42 mpg in sport mode.
