I had to go to Seattle today. Looked at the weather along the road (Portland, Chehalis and Seattle). It was a little chilly (between 45 and 55) along the route, but no rain. I bundled up and took the bike. I filled up in Beaverton and reset the trip meter. Having never switched to reserve while riding, I wanted to see exactly how long I could go. I switched to reserve at exactly 160 miles. Now if I remember right (someone please correct me if I am wrong), from fill to reserve it is 3.2 gallons. If that is right, that works out to be 50 mpg. Most of the trip, I was running at 5000 rpm (4th gear, indicated 80mph). When I get gas on the return trip I will be able to figure out mileage more accurately.
