Yup a 96'r. I came from a 98 ci yamaha roadstar that got 44-46 all of the time no matter how I drove it and it had motor work done as well. I will be happy with this one as long as I can keep it around 40 or better

08 FXSTC with not a whole lot of miles yet, but so far I've averaged about 38.5. This is with both city and highway driving.

I have a '00 Deuce with the carbed TC B 88ci with a jet kit and the K&N hi-flow air filter. I average 50 MPG on every tank with a pretty good mix of city/hwy miles.
