    I get around 250 miles with just me on the bike and staying out of the throttle.

    Not sure on the mpg, but 200 miles sounds about right.

    All depends on how you ride. Fast is fun but expensive.

    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.
