I have found the gas tank of my current dreams, and somehow I'm determined to get it on the bike. She's a cute little monkey, but a little short on capacity, as I've noticed monkeys often are. I looked up its specifications and at 2.4 gallons she's as small as she looks.
My Harley (1,450cc) gets right at 45 miles per gallon no matter how I ride it. My wife's bike (883cc) gets over 50mpg, but she rides like a gray old ape, and you know how they can be. I haven't owned a Honda 4 since 1971 (750 K1) but as I recall it got about 50 mpg too, so that's sort of what I was expecting from the 550 I'm building now. But I did a search here and elsewhere and I'm seeing all sorts of postings from guys who are getting abysmal fuel economy. A bunch of them I was chalking up to overflowing carbs the rider's weren't aware off, some of them might have been poor because the owner's drive like New Jersy-trained Baboons, but then there were comments from fellows who seemed reasonable and had good running bikes who weren't getting very good milage either.
So I thought I'd come here and ask. What kind of milage are you getting and if you don't mind, how does your bike run and how do you ride it? Me, I go zoom, zoom, zoom most all the time.
