Realistic Fuel Mileage?

Where I live you better have an idea of how far you can go when you plan a ride, in some places it’s 100 miles between fuel stops. So i do care.
After 60+ years of riding around this country, I certainly know all my motors' mileage and also how to consider gas locations along the way when riding, thank you.
I just do not care what it is at every stop.
I have ran dry twice in all those years, both were in the city where I live.
 
Kinda sounds like you do care. Just sayin. No one as far as I know said anything about every stop.

Wow! Every rider gets different mileage on every Rocket. The only proper comparison would be that of each individual and his own bike; therfor, if you care, check at every stop.
Sharing mileage on line makes no sense.
Wwhat's the point?
Also, since when was the Triumph Rocket designed and built for economy gas mileage?
 
Remember, that fuel mileage is based on the erroneously high reading speedo. Subtract 10% of the mileage before dividing by the gallons used.
 
So, just to clarify things further. Best look to fill up between 50 and 150 miles (on the tacho) depending on how you ride it.
Simple! ........Well, I'm glad I managed to clear that one up for everybody.

If it is still stock tires then the odometer would be correct.
i have exceedra max so i would have to add 5%
 
That's backwards for the new ones. The Exedra Max gets it closer to actual.
Thanks i didn't know that
do you mean that the replacement tire is smaller then the orignal
