Checking in from Southern Cali

Hey everyone. Bought an 05 FZ6 about a month ago. Best bike I've owned yet. A dog in the lower RPMs, but very fun in the higher ranges. I bought this for a commuter bike. So far I'm happy with it, although the 40 MPG is a lot lower than I thought I would get. Also, I'm looking into getting some Nelson-Rigg Mini Sport Saddle Bags but I'm not willing to pay $80 so if someone has some, please let me know. Looking forward to the help from everyone on here.

I just got some for $76 including shipping at Motorcycle Luggage from www.Motorcycle-Luggage.com

I hope they're as great as everyone says!

Re: Checking in from Southern Cali

I get about 40-42, attibutable, I think, to my lower hp to weight ratio than most. (I weigh in at 225.)

Re: Checking in from Southern Cali

Yup, I average 40-43 in the city. I don't drive highways.

When I go on my trips 1-2 times a month I get over 45 for sure ... I'm going up to MotoGP so maybe I'll post in the gas mileage section...check for that thread.
