Low is 32-34 two up running 80-85 on the Interstate.  High is 41 running two up on back roads, rarely getting above 65mph.  Normal riding two up...65-75 I get around 36/37.  '06 SEUC

At 150 miles, I stop.  I always have to whizz before the tank needs fuel, so it's usually sooner than 150.

 :)  I've always had a thimble for a bladder, Spyd.  I can drink three beers and swear I whizz at least 5...but, I don't drink more than 2 and ride (at least not very far...the bike knows it's own way home from a couple of local places).  ;)

I do try and stay hydrated when I ride distances though...gatorade and water mostly.  A 6 gallon tank wouldn't do me much good, would it?   :huepfenlol2:

'07 SERK. The last tank, riding solo mostly back roads and some interstate: 49.2 mpg average over 203 miles.  Steady 75 mpg 43-44 mpg.  Makes me hesitate to mess with it, but the SERT is going on today.

35-37 MPG, depending on how I ride it.  When it was a 103 motor it got 39-40.

I did a 500 mile endurance ride this summer with a local HOG group. Amongst the group were two 05 UC's and an 07 RK. One UC had a full "stage one" and the other was totally stock. The RK had the 96" with the six speed and was stock. My 07 CUSE2 had True duals, SERT and A/C mods. All of us got within a tenth of a gallon of each other regardless of the roads and speeds. Our worst gas mileage was on 153 miles of interstate at 75-85 mph. We all got about 34mpg. Our best was on a 124 mile stretch of 45-65 mph with very few stops. We got ~53 mpg. In all cases the 07 RK got the worst gas mileage. My low fuel lite was the fist to come on. It came on at 131 miles on the 153 mile interstate run and I still made it to the gas station. We had a service truck following us so I wasn't too concerned about running out of gas. Are you smarter that a fouth grader??? How many gallons does a HD five gallon tank hold?? On mine , not five.
