Point of reference. Harley’s get good mileage. My Sportster  was a solid 40mpg and the V-Rod, for all it’s horsepower got over 35 when just riding, and somewhere near 25 if I beat it up.  I found the mileage P.R. from Harley unbelievable until I owned a few. :)

I read your post. I think that cruiser looks god awful uncomfortable with that board seat, short bars and fat front tire. Wrestling a bike through a turn or evading a moron in a car won’t be fun, nor will riding it more than 20 miles. The other bike that mimics a BMW motorad dual sport will fail. I have a 2006 V-Rod…
