In gallons that's approximately 28 miles per gallon. You say that "I have 2000 sportster with Buell Machine, so it is faster" so I'm wondering if it's faster when you're grabbing a bunch of throttle.
Faster equals more fuel. Especially if you're like most of us on here who like to go fast.
i did not know my little sportster would drink more than a car....
quite impossible.....
The bike is much lighter, smaller, not so fast and still my car consumes less gasoline....
I was thinking it would consume half as much as car not vice versa.....
Lots of variables, like tuning, speed, heavy throttle. A properly tuned sportster of this year should average over 40 mpg. If it has Buell heads then it will more powerful due to the increase flow but that also sacrifices fuel economy.
