what mileage do you/would you get running 90-100mph all day on the superslab?
what rpm would you be at in top??
particularly interested in the 8 valvers...
thanks in advance as ever....
-
4500-5000 rpm
35 mpg.
(YMMV)

4.1k is 70mph in 6th gear and I will get 36-38mpg in that range with the stock map (rollered '11 8V). At 5k you are north of 90mph but I couldn't tell you what the mpg because I haven't stayed up there for a whole tank. The bike is a naked hooligan and not really a highway burner...

I have a 2013 with a GT-Rx exhaust & fuel mods.
A few weeks ago on a 300 mile day hitting trip digits I was getting 35 to 40 running mid grade fuel.
A lot of it was varied riding mostly back country farm roads with a good amount of curves & straights but also a lot of slow riding thru small populated areas.
I do pencil & paper when checking gas mileage because most on board computers are sweet by about 5 mpg.

5000-5500 RPM. 28-31 mpg. You're in the guzzle zone. :laugh:

perfect. thanks guys.
(sounds like about what I get on my Calvin...)

Exactly. Cruise is 4 and the fun starts at 5. The only thing I don't like about the bike is the rev limiter hits hard at 8k...

Raise it. Mark has his at 9, mine's at 8.5 but I rarely take it over eight.

I want to know where you can go 90-100 mph all day! Last time I did that was Nuremberg to Rome in the 70's... on a water buffalo, with Evelyn Katraba on the back, and frankly, I didn't give a damn about the gas mileage! I miss the 70's.... :cry:

Wait a minute. You're wanting to drive 90-100 on the slab but you're concerned about gas mileage? I mean, a modern CB500 will top out at 110 but net you around 50mpg if that's what you're after.
