Great Norge fuel mileage
« on: July 30, 2018, 06:51:39 AM »
I've owned my '07 Norge for 8 months now and have put 10,000 miles on it. Have been consistently getting 50+ mpg. Yesterday, riding 2-up, the bike got 267 miles on a tank of gas, and the low fuel level light had not come on yet. Can't remember ever getting so many miles on a tank of gas on any bike I have ever owned. Very pleased!

We've noticed similar results with our 06 Breva 1100.    :thumb:  Our last 06 B had 1.4 gals left when the "low fuel" light appeared.

My knees will require a stop before the B will.

The 8Vs are heavy drinkers. My 8V pretty much runs between 36-38 mpg while the computer is showing mid-40s. City riding will quickly bring the milage down into the 20s. With wind to my back and slower two lane roads I can see low to mid 40s.
