I get around 250 miles with just me on the bike and staying out of the throttle.
On my 01 Electra, I’m getting around 150 before my fuel light comes on.
I get 180 miles no matter how I ride it..
don’t know, don’t care, when she needs gas I fill her up.
Not sure on the mpg, but 200 miles sounds about right.
All depends on how you ride. Fast is fun but expensive.
Riding 2 up I get 42mpg
Been getting around 4-500 miles to a 6 gallon tank.
Get around 220 with stage 1 on a 2015 ultra limited.
I’m about 230-240. 2013 Ultra Ltd.
Ya…I get 38 or so running 2 up. Have fuel pak 3 tuner and 103 big bore stage 3
240-250 miles..unintentionally rode the gauge down to 11 kms (7 miles) left once
2013 Electra glide with a 106 hot set up 200 on a good day
37 mpg is pretty typical…you have a 6 gallon tank.
I get 220-230 on “normal” riding around here two up. I just rode to Daytona and back, one up, interstate and about 75mph average and it was 180-190. 2016 Limited all Stock.
I get 40mpg at 60mph and 30mpg at 80….
220 to 240 miles
Stage 1 on a 2012 ultra limited riding solo around 200-240.
I’ve got a 2012 getting 42-44 mpg and 245-265 miles to a tank
Interstate riding fuel light comes on around 175 miles. Non interstate gets me around 200 miles. Easy day back roads, I can get a little more. 2011 Ultra Classic, tour pack removed.
I have a 08 Ultra stock. Cruising back roads between 45-60 the best I’ve gotten was 44miles/gal. Mix city and highway 38 ish. Straight highway I95 I generally don’t go above 75 mph and get around 39-41. When I use my bike to go to and from work, a whole 17 miles round trip, I’m down to 33-36 miles/gal.
There isn’t actually any “normal” mileage. Too many factors make mpg variable. A happy throttle hand, flat roads vs hilly, windy, shift patterns are a few. some get 30 mpg or less, some get 50 mpg or even more. Your mileage will vary. Once on a trip across New Mexico into strong wind was lucky to get 25 mpg, “normal” for that bike was 40 mpg.
I get around 43 on mine. Mostly highway riding. I don’t know how far the tank will carry me because I always fill up between 1/2 and 1/4.

I think the furthest I’ve pushed mine was 180 miles on my 2007, and the fuel light had come on a while before that. Usually I don’t use 6 gear unless I’m on the interstate but I’m trying it out on back roads and any roads that are 55 mph to see if my range changes at all. Typically I fill up every 150 miles
i’ve had a couple big (1500cc) jap cruisers and gotta say my Harley Ultra 96ci gets way better mileage than my Vulcan Nomad 29-31mpg or my Suzuki Intruder 30-32mpg i admit i ride a little over the limit and take off faster than i need to but i live in the mountains not goods for mileage and average 37- on a trip interstate 75-80mph i average 40-42 at one time i had a trike kit on my suzuki and pulled a enclosed trailer & got 18-mpg

On my trip to Alaska and back to Florida
80/85 mph 40m/g
50/55 mph 50m/g In Canada and Alaska the fast average speed is 50/55 because of the scenery or frost heaves so its easy to get over 50 mpg . 2017 ultra two up and loaded only modification is a SE air cleaner

Just did a trip to central Fl, doing +5 and got about 37mph into head wind with visor vent open and fairing wind deflectors open blowing on the twins.
