I think on average my mpg is about 57mpg US

The big bore might have dropped it a bit but overall the slight pulling power makes up for it.

Yes I have been running mostly lean condition and have not been shy of giving it the beans so I would be safe to say that 56-60 MPG is the average with soft panniers sticking out either side and about 90kg body weight.

I think the cheap X ring chain is robbing some power at the top as 65mph/ 100kmph is not that common to get. So average speed is 55mph.

But its getting the job done and TBH I'm not sure if i want to go any faster on the XL185 running technology...
