I know there are multiple factors, especially my 260lb carcass plus saddle bags always on but can attest that I observed a very significant mpg increase during my recent BRP ride from MM233 to Cherokee plus a little.
I typically see mid/upper-60's in my 33-mile work commute (round trip), this is dependent on my ability to keep stops/starts to a minimum. My lowest mpg is high 50's during long stretches of 65mph+. During said BRP ride a couple Saturdays ago, I hit 79mpg for the tank - filled up in Blowing Rock & again in Maggie Valley for trip home.
I've learned that on the my NC, the best mpg is for me to keep the rpm's below 3k which was a learned behavior for me since I like to wind it out.
