Mpg on both my Honda ntv an rebel 125 can be nearly doubled by riding steady as opposed to thraping them. Cane the ntv and do a ton getting there fast, a tankfull is a megre 200 miles or so, I have seen 400 out of a tankfull doing a steady ride and nursing it. The rebel even noticed a headwind quite a bit when it came to mpg. I regularly rode the rebel at a steady 50mph to keep the costs down, especially in winter what with the ice anc fog. On most of the roads around here it aint too bad cruising along at 50.
