Acetone in your gas

My NightHawk is the same way, the 'stop 'n go' style riding is no good! It goes down to an average of 35mpg but on a steady, non-stop riding, at least 45mpg!

Dude, if it fluctuates between 45 and 85, I don't think you can still refer to it as 'constant'! ...lol..

my old cb250 nighthawk was supposed to get like 75-80mpg. more like 45-50 cause you always want it to go faster=more throttle, even though you're going slower than a vw bug :P

my 250stroker gets bad milage for a small bike.

Well, if the person is big (200+ lbs.) any bike less than 600cc is ridiculous.
My NightHawk is a 750 so it has plenty of power even for my fat(235lbs)ass!

It seems to get better mileage and runs more powerful when it is not too hot and/or when the oil is not too old/dirty. I was told the bikes need an oil change same as a car but I think that is not the case with my bike. I will I need to change it like ever 2000-2500 miles at the most!
