After 3500 miles, I was finally able to break the 40mpg mark. When I filled up the bike this morning, I was surprised to see 41.3mpg. Ever since I got the bike, I only saw 32-35mpg. It looks like it's finally breaking in......I'm pretty happy about it and I wanted to share

Almost there.
By 5K you'll be out of infancy.
It only gets better from here!

Sounds like you have almost got it broke in.Kinda strange how a 1200 can be so fuel efficient.I guess thats why we love them so much.Peace and grease,Lesley

Nothing strange about it, the long stroke tends to do it. I'll keep my numbers out of this post : )

I admit that I often get the urge to open up the taps. Not bad IMO.

What I like the most about these bikes and fuel economy wise is you don't see much of a drop in MPG when you ride it hard, vs just cruising. I know my FZ6 would guzzle gas when I would wind her up.

I gotta say I miss the great mileage my XB delivered.

My Z1000 gets worse mileage than my car, but then again it has more horsepower so I guess it's a fair trade.

I look forward to hitting 50mpg in the future.

My bike only has 300 something miles on it now and I calculated 40.7 mpg... if it is only going to get better i am excited.

To make it 214 miles on an 1125R without having the fuel light come on is freakin impressive! 49.24 mpg. Wow.
