but the price was the same as a regular '04 ADV. It has been thought that these SE models were cancelled orders for police bikes... In any case it is the last of the non canbus bikes and I like it's looks and ride...
What kind of gas mileage do you folks get on your r1100rt?
I have a 99 and its averaging high 30s. on distance ride home I got 44 on one tank.
Comment on your mileage and if you notice anything between windshield up or down.
Thanks!
'04 1150RT - how do you guys get 40+ MPG out of one of these? The best I can do is 39 and a bit. That has been consistent for the 6,000 mi I have owned the bike.
I believe they added a 6th gear when they rolled out the 1150RT, with the 1100s only having 5 gears. I have always assumed that 6th gear gave me better mileage when cruising at steady, high speeds (65+) but I have never tested it. Anyone know for sure?
I'm actually very surprised at the large differences in mileage of these bikes across the spectrum, especially when the comparison is of the same model and year of bike. I know that different weather and riding conditions will have an affect, but with similar riding styles and weather it would seem that the mileage should be fairly close. But I've read figures all across the board, from lows in the low-mid 30's, to highs in the low-mid 50's. Seems to me that if most bikes of the same model are getting on average say, 45 mpg, and your bike of the same model is only getting 35 mpg, and most all of the other factors are similar, then your bike isn't tuned in the way it should be.
