Last summer when the bike was still new to me, I was "babying" it. Keeping RPM's in the 3000-3800 range. Got great gas mileage and it ran OK.

This summer, I've been running in the 4500-5000 RPM range and I enjoy it ALOT more. Unfortunately, gas mileage really has suffered, but I guess that's the price you pay for fun.
