It really depends on how and where you ride. Do you have a lot of extra weight on the machine? Are you just putting along, or running it hard? Using 4 wheel drive or not? Ect.Ect...

BTW- Welcome to the forum from Upstate New York!

I'd say 25-30 mpg riding conservatively. It just depends how you ride
