I'm going to be taking a trip to Alaska this summer with a few friends.
They have Goldwings, and I will be riding my 954rr.
What's the best mileage some of you have gotten out of your bikes?
It may not be feasible to take the trip due to the distances between stations.

 

120-150 miles, depending.. tell the goldwings to carry gas if need be haha

 

I was hoping I could get around 40mpg with her.
Looks like I was dreamin tho.
If I keep the speed around 60, do ya think I could muster out around that mpg?
thanks,
Pop's

 

well 954's have 4.9 gallon tank. .9 of that is reserve so i think that would be pushing it, and 30mpg is a little more real.. but anything is possible i guess

 

I'd like to see one of those Goldwings do a wheelie.LOL
If I can get 150 to 4 gallons of fuel that's not bad.
I thought about buying a Wing for the trip, but that would take the fun out of it.
Heck,I would fall asleep on one.

These guys I'm going to make the trip with are some hardcore riders.
Last year they did a road trip of 9000 miles in three weeks.
I'm going to have some sore butt cheeks. LOL
And there older then me, one of them is 79 yrs. of age.
So at 49, I guess I'm a spring chicken. HAHA

take care,
Pop's

 

haha 9000 miles in three weeks, wow i put 10,000 all last summer and i thought that was good

 

well I lied, it was 4 weeks. LOL
I talked to them today about the trip. It looks like the cbr won't make it between the fuel stops. some of the stations are 200 miles apart.
So I either sell this bike an get a different one or not go on the trip. Hmmm.

 

clicked off 119 mi from full until the light came on (119mi/4 gal main =29MPG), on I294 averaging speed 75-90, 4 tolls.

 

not to bad..
