    My bike is! 69,000 miles today! And I'm getting 40mpg, which is 6-8 mpg better than my Sixth Gen. Go figure. My current Fifth Gen has nearly twice the miles too!

    Nice! Love seeing the mileage these bikes get. 6 mpg could be just speedo error, though.

    After hitting the oil on Mulholland there is a lot of truth in that. Streets aren't tracks. Seems I'm able to hold the RPMs down on this bike and still have good power. Better than my 6th gen.
