My average for 7000 miles on my 13Rt has been between 25 and 26. Wife gets about 1 mpg better. We cruise 75 plus on open roads and are not limp wristed on the back roads. The bikes were purchased for fun.
It interesting to note that for longer trips, its more fuel efficient to load both bikes on a trailer and pull them with my truck than to drive the two of them to the destination. Depends on the destination, route and timing which we do. Truck is faster average and takes less fuel and carries more tools, fuel etc. Bikes are much more fun if the roads are.
Haha, 100% this!
We have a Spyder and a Triumph Rocket III. Fuel economy is not clearly a priority for this recreation.
(I do have a PHEV car though, for daily use...)
Although range can be an issue when we are in the boonies...
