You are getting better gas mileage than my ninja !!

Then again I am not running around at 10,000 rpms .... More like 2500 - 3000 rpms.

And people think the 2013 has a high rev cruise

Is that top gear? The CB is turning like 3000 rpms at 70. Wow
Edit I was wrong it's 3250 rpms

Yes, that is 6th gear.
Going to try and find some non-ethanol gas for the cb1100, I also heard a wind screen helps the mpg too?
RE: Gas Mileage - the Ferret - 07-22-2015
I've heard from others on the forum that is true.
Mine is naked using 10% ethanol regular grade gas, very little stop and go 45-60 mph backroads riding.
