High speed, HIGH fuel consumption

[Paladin528]

80-100Mph and 27 MPG is good.

27 would be acceptable to me running this big girl that hard. My goal with the belly tank was to get 200 miles per fill up, I usually stop before that to stretch but sometimes out in this country fuel stations can be few and far between so a buffer would be nice. Got a long weekend coming up so hoping I find something to blame

AMAZING!  That you Guys are milking out that kind of mileage, at these speeds!

The Valk's came with larger engines, than most small cars did, back in the day!!

I am not a "tour" rider anymore.  Just a "fun" rider, these days of late.  Long story.

I could care less what mileage my bike gets.  When I get low on fuel,  "FILLER UP"!!

The only time I care is when I’m down to a gallon and the next station 45 miles down the road. I might have dipped to to low 20’s last night. A side wind at 45 out of Amarillo for 150 miles was kicking my butt.

Stock '02, cleaned/synced carbs, Memphis Shades fairing, commuting at 75 mph, I consistently get 24 mpg.

Timing wheel always to be stock, air filter isn't excessively dirty. I double checked and with an Avon Cobra front at 41psi and ATT rear at 43psi I'm at just a hair under 4000rpm at 85mph indicated. Maybe she just likes the fuel
