Author Message   Sam_07 Posted on Monday, February 11, 2008 - 04:23 pm:        Hello All! I purchased a dealer left over 06 xb12s this weekend! I love it! I put 200 miles on it in one day. (orlando, florida) I am amazed how this bike responds. Its so hard babying this thing for 500 miles. What is the typical fuel mileage i can expect once the motor breaks in? Thats to say being easy on the throttle...   New12r Posted on Monday, February 11, 2008 - 04:25 pm:        Congrats, Welcome to the madness!! I beat mine and get 45+ mpg.   Badlionsfan Posted on Monday, February 11, 2008 - 05:11 pm:        kinda fun, isn't it?   Adrenaline_junkie Posted on Monday, February 11, 2008 - 05:36 pm:        Hard day of corner carving - 43MPG Commuting at the posted limit - 50MPG I sometimes spend more on tires than gas.   Nillaice Posted on Monday, February 11, 2008 - 06:24 pm:        got frame pucks?   Froggy Posted on Monday, February 11, 2008 - 06:28 pm:        I can't vouch for my Lightning yet as the weather and lack of plates won't allow me, but my 2006 Ulysses was 55-60mpg consistently, even with beating on her and doing wheelies. I only got poor mileage when i was really beating on her at Buelltoberfest.   Hexangler Posted on Monday, February 11, 2008 - 06:36 pm:        Your gonna love it!!!!!!!

You see that lever in front of your left foot when your riding? Click it up once in a while   Mesafirebolt Posted on Monday, February 11, 2008 - 10:49 pm:        I commute 65 miles each day, I average 55mpg, sometimes when I baby it to under 85 I can get 60.
