I took my 2010 M1100S on a 200 mile ride today.  I checked my gas milage very carefully.  I was riding with 2 friends, one on a Busa the other on a SV1000.  The ride was "spirited", lots of twisties and hit over 100 Mph a time or two.  I got 47.3 the first tank and 53.5 the second.  I can't complain about that!

Both tanks were ethanol free.  Ill check ethanol gas later.

Altitude makes a massive difference on my air-cooled engine.

At ~5k, I get about 40 on a regular basis.  At 8-10k, I get 50-ish even riding faster than normal.

Jebus, my 4 valver gets 35 mph maybe. My Ford Fiesta gets better.

Only 35 mph?

The thing on the right...twist it. 

I do most all my riding between 6000’ and 12000’ and never get less than 50 MPG on a S2R1K

What is this "ethanol free" gas you speak of? 

Commuting, in a stop-n-go traffic, I get only about 33 mpg. I've yet to see the gas consumption on open road.

Lol 
Who cares abt gas when u ride!! it's all abt pleasure.. I don't even know how many miles I get from the bikes...  I compensate the gas my monsters drink  with my jetta which gets abt 47mpg highway.. 

Gas mileage is important when opportunities to fill are far apart.

100 miles for 3 gallons is a pretty good planning factor, but in that mileage was less than two gallons.
