RE: 2013 CB1100 MPG - redReno_imp - 05-11-2013

I have been averaging 41.
My last trip didn't have very many stop n goes and I was riding two up for half the tank-I got 48 mpg.
Best fill up for me yet, previous best was 45 mpg.

Just filled up (#8 I think) today. This run was about 1/2 freeway and 1/2 around town. It came out to 44.84 mpg. That's a bit better than my usual 41-42 mpg.

I wonder if the little windshield is helping out on the freeway? I do know that I'm spending a lot less energy hanging on at 80 mph, maybe the bike is too.

Just filled up. 45.9 mpg. Mostly around town, should do better on highway. Flashing led came on at 135 miles. It took 2.94 gallons. Looks like I'll be safe to run150/160 before fill.

Yeah something is definitely wrong with that... you're not having near enough fun.

42 mpg on my first tank. Mostly commuting to work about half city and half highway and sitting in a good amount of traffic.

Here's my old CB750 next to one of it's favorite signs.

Heck yes! Where is that at Flynrider?

RE: 2013 CB1100 MPG - flynrider - 05-15-2013

That happens to be one of the finest motorcycle roads I know. U.S. Highway 12 from Lolo, MT to Grangeville, ID.

It's 160 miles of continuous curves along a river at the botom of a canyon. There are no towns along the route and that stretch of highway is bordered by National Forest and Wilderness Areas (i.e. No local traffic). I last rode it in 2011 and didn't get stuck behind a single car on the whole stretch.

The sign has since been changed to read "Winding Road Next 99 Miles", but that still doesn't do it justice.

Here's an aerial shot I took while flying overhead. The road twists along the bottom of the canyon to the horizon.
