I had the Uly with the race kit (exhaust, ECM, Filter). It didn't matter if you beat on it or rode it easy, I regularly got 50 MPG.

I have a HEAVY throttle hand and am 6' and weigh 250 with gear (not the best for aerodynamics).

A lighter rider with a smaller "cross section" could see 60-65MPG.

Best tank I ever got, I went 180 miles before the fuel light came on. Usually the light came on at 150 miles.
