I'm bout the same except using a PCV with a more aggressive map, but average around 51mpg. Who'd have thought higher revs equaled better mpg.

Something is wrong. Cruising at the ideal rpm might make a few mpg difference, but at 30mpg, something is just plain wrong. Carb sync? Bad injector?

I just divide gallons by mileage
It's miles divided by gallons.
Ex.: 180 miles on the odometre, and you just topped up your tank with four gallons...
180 / 4 = 45 mpg

MPG and what speed to shift
crazy - but look at the owners manual. they want you in 2nd like by 12 mph and 6th by 28 mph +/- check it out. The thing I cant' figure out though... which is cool! But, that 600cc will get up and go! It blows AWAY my Honda 750cc Shadow RS. I race casually vettes, camaros, mustangs from red lights just for fun. 0-60 mph and like their in the rear view mirror. WhoHoo!!

Got 42 MPG out of my WPB-Miami ride. 80% freeway @ 70-80 MPH (6500-7000 RPM) I could probably get 45 if I milk it a bit... That's w/o the DBK by the way. With it and re-trim the fuel should get me in the 45-47 MPG I think.
Still pretty good considering all the mod I have... mid range is pulling strong!

Wait!!!! maybe it my body weight effecting MPG - anybody around 220 and getting in the 40's mpg. All musle.... hee hee
I'm 180 mostly bone and skin, rocking 20 or so pounds of fat I'd rather lose. Lately I've been below 40mpg, but I've been hooning out a bit.
I havent been that since my High School hockey playing days and before my dad died when I was 21. Quite a bit above that but still rocking high 40's to low 50s
I have rode 2 up, about 300 lbs combined, me at around 190 with gear wife at around 110 with gear, still got 50+ mpg on a few of those romps.
rev it
Things that affect my mpg:
K&N air filter
Mobile 1 synth oil
revving at 5.5-7k, and avoiding the "luggs" whenever possible
Last tank was 188mi in 3.4 gal, over 55mpg.

Last few tanks have been in the 46-48 range, with mixed city/highway. I have 1600miles on the bike.

Will a K&N air filter really help the gas mileage? I thought I read somewhere that the 6R already had a hi-flo air filter on it? Or did I misread?
You're correct, it's not reusable like the k&n though.

Best I've done was 42mpg. But I ride my bike hard.
