I rode with the PA chapter today for part of their 4 day ride. I filled up a few miles before meeting them and was near the back of the pack. They were mostly Vulcans. Riding a Ninja 500R like a Vulcan I got 71 mpg. Riding it like a Ninja I get 48 mpg. But either way it still beats the 10 mpg truck that I haven't been driving in a couple of months now except to pull the camper.

That is a big swing in numbers based on riding style.
