I'd rather quote something on the conservative side, and have him be
delighted if he gets more than he expected !
My 1200 is a 2001. I've gotten as poor as 27 USMPG and the best so far
was 37MPG. I average closer to 33MPG.
In my opinion it isn't the speeds I ride but the short time it takes me
to get to those speeds that is reducing my mileage. I do know that I'm
set slightly rich on the mixture by choice. The Dyno numbers were great
as for the HP I'm putting to the pavement. I don't ride it like a
touring bike. Maybe I'm not mentally old enough to be that sedate.

I heard that Bob... Try like 50mpg for a 1999 and newer 1200 if you
ride at legal speeds and keep it properly tuned!!!!
