50mpg on the SV... a personal best

[roguegeek]

When I was on the GS full time, it was probably averaging 55 mpg. With the RR, I'm averaging 42 mpg.

I average about 35mpg on my SV1000S.   The dang thing is just too much fun to ride slow or with the front wheel on the ground

I was getting horrible gas mileage.  I got around 30-35 for a while after rejet, k&n lunchbox, pipe, and living by the coast.  I was wanting 50 so I plugged up all of the california crap, and now we'll see what happens.  Hopefully around 45-50 but I also have a 14t front sprocket so I don't know how much it will affect gas mileage.

Mine gets 50MPG whether I'm cruising a 2-lane at 60 or the interstate at 80+.

The SV gets 45-47.  Some of the early 2nd gen SV'rs are reporting as low as 35 mpg.  I think they need to check their TPS.

i get better mileage on my bike than any of you. i never have to fill 'er up at the ole gas station. hmm...maybe that has something to do with not having a "real" bike yet, just the ones i dream about.  i know, i'm an idiot. just trying to be funny.
