    My new SUPER BIKE!!

    LOL!! Super MPG that is!! Check the pic on the avatar. Its a VLX600 shadow. 200 miles on it when I barrowed it from my mother (haha yes mother) three weeks ago. Did i mention it's 2 years old? So Im doing the bike a favor and riding it to and from work. The big bonus?? 60mpg!!!

    commuting on a VLX600 shadow for now, 60MPG!!! I punched out the baffles, so it has that V-twin snap and crackle that made H/D so infamous. Except this little scute is rice powered!!lol

    and once in a while a 98 gold wing, its a scarey fast 2 wheeled yacht!!

    I'll be suprised if you get 60.  The only problem with the shadow 600 is that it's only a 3 speed!

    My cousin has a shadow 750 and it gets about 45mpg, granted it's a 750, but it's got 5 gears.

     It's a 4 speed actualy. I was there when it was purchased 2 years ago( some one had to ask questions, and my mother wasnt sure what she wanted), and I've been riding it for 3 weeks. I have checked the milage twice. first time 125 miles to a 2 gallon fill up( not much range). Second time was 127 miles to a 2 gallon fill up. I expect the milage to improve just a bit( maybe not even noticable)since at 600 miles the engine hasen't fully broke in yet. I was only hoping for 50 mpg. So i am more than suprised, and pleased since i've got a 30 mile drive round trip to work each day.
