I keep my bike bone stock and have for a year now. Im guilty of extreme wrist twisting so I cant condemn you for the fun! But I noticed this spring (even though I rode at least once a week across the winter) that my MPG has increased from the paltry 36-38 to a whopping 47-50. I havent changed my driving habits at all either. I still give it the gas everytime I sit next to a little BMW who thinks that 0-60 is his domain and that my little bike wont keep up or beat him... yuppies you gotta love em! My point is that yes I firmly believe after time to break in, that your MPG will increase even with less than perfect driving habits. Just my 2 cents though. Either way kick back and enjoy the ride.. it could be worse after all my friend in his land rover gets a lovely 14mpg highway.

Cheers!™
