trike gas mileage

[bumlbe]

Hi,
I was wondering what kind of gas mileage you guys were getting with your particular trike. Please note what make bike and trike manufacturer you have.

I have an 1800 Goldwing with Motor Trike and I am getting 27mpg without a passenger.

2008 Goldwing CSC. I just got mine. A recent 140 mile round trip with a passenger gave me 35mpg at 70mph mostly fwy and some town driving too. I noticed that the speedometer was 4 miles fast at 70 (I have a GPS) which probably lowers my mpg to...(uh...you do the math on that one)...probably 33-34 I guess. I've got just under 4000mi on my odometer. Motor was warm at both fill ups. Hope that helps.

2003 goldwing dft trike 35 to 40 per gal.

 

[TriGlide]

09 Tri Glide and 10 Street Glide They get around 28MPG. Thats combo roads. I run em at 2800-3000 rpm. mostly ride solo.

 

[tfdeputydawg]

06Wing w/Hannigan, 2up 99% of the time, 60mph = 35mpg in warm weather. Drops into the high 20's iin cold(winter)weather.

 

[Ozarkryder]

Running normally - 2 up below 3000 RPM we get right around 35mpg, little more or less. Towing the loaded Bunkhouse up the freeway at 75 - 80 it's down to about 28. Riding the twisties in the Ozarks jumps the mileage around the 40 mark as the speed and RPM goes way down. Pretty close to the reports of other GW1500 owners.

2010 Tri-Glide. If I get 30 MPG at 70 MPH on highway I feel blessed. I am assuming their rated 48 MPG was with a stripped down street glide...doing 45 MPH....drafting behind a truck...with an anorexic jockey operating it.

 

[shadowokie]

Mine is fairly new to me but so far I'm getting 35 mph on my 96 Suzuki 800 Intruder with Lehman kit.

 

[farmer6755]

2006 Goldwing with CSC, two up, easy riding, around 34 mpg.

Riding style has nearly everything to do with gas mileage. Wind and elevation also play a role, wind out here (Kansas) probably has more effect than riding style. What gear you choose to ride in will also effect it. My TriGlide got better mileage in 5th gear in the wind than in 6th gear. My gas mileage has varied from a low of 22 to a high of 36. I don't much care what it is, I'm more interested in range. A six gallon tank is more important to me than what my mileage is.
