What kind of gas mileage should I anticipate getting riding my 2007 Queen on mostly country roads, no hills, with just a bit of stop and go through a few citified areas? I rarely go much over 55 mph.

Lil,
A riding buddy of mine has a Road King and rides a bit faster than that and gets about 42 mpg on roads like that. On the highway he has gotten 46 mpg.

So he's doing just about as good as a Toyota Prius.

Very green indeed. Let some others with real ride time in the saddle chime in though. My info is second hand.

 

[SLOWHOUND]

I get 38=50 in the city,42-44 on highway,07 RKC,sert and Rinehart ,stage 1 air filter,and a twisty wick.

 

[CEYLON]

About 40

 

[elPrez]

I seem to average 49 mpg
Mostly solo, stage one and I don't baby the speedo.

 

[DiamondLil]

Thanks gentlemen.
Does anyone ever get over 50?

Yep, 50-56 but only highway and I guess it depends on how I'm riding on that tank -don't lol but wind direction has alot to do with it. Otherwise 40-44 again depending on riding mood. 06 RKC w/RH true duals, high flow filter and a re-map

Oh, I get the wind impact. I wonder if there is a calculation to determine RPMs at certain speeds in relation to wind velocity and direction. If not, there ought to be.

I'm normally in the 45 MPG range but did get 50+ once when I fueled up in Truckee CA and rode to Sacramento................net elevation drop of 7,500 feet. :ride

my 2010 rkc 96 gets a consistant 42mpg running hard. i would think the way you ride should do better on yours.:biking:

Tommy must have a thing about digging up bones.
This is his second skeleton.

He may have taken the "Zombie Thread Master" title away from XL1200R

Premium is $2.29 in Houston. I quit counting. The OP sold his scoot and bought a Chevy Astro Van.
