Not possible is it?

I've run two tanks of gas through the 82 LTD since I finally got it running decent. I haven't exactly been babying it and I haven't exactly been WFO all the time either. I would say I have been riding more aggressively than is normal for me. I've done the math five or six times and it always comes out the same. 51 mpg average. :blink:

I'm still not really used to the five-speed and can't imagine what the milage will be if I ride it as conservatively as I do the six-speed 550. I know there was a milage thread on here not to long ago but I can't remember anyone else with an 82 KZ1000 LTD and what kind of milage they were getting.

51 mpg is nothing to sneeze at!!
I think most of the 1000's are getting 35-45 mpg.

Mid 30's is what I expected. That's why I am so surprised. The best I ever got on the 550 is 54 mpg and it usually averages around 48-50 mpg. The ride on the 1000 is so much nicer, now I need to decide which one to keep....

Steell, I like your windshield. I just picked one up on the bay that is very similar.
