I just broke 400 miles yesterday and was hoping to go cruising up to my folks in Maine over the weekend but it looks like we&#8217;ll be getting a lot of rain courtesy of those annoying hurricanes down south.</p> <p>Last weekend I gassed it up for a second time which enabled me to run mileage numbers, turns out I&#8217;m getting just below 38mpg which is awesome but I&#8217;m looking to be in the high 40&#8217;s if not the low 50&#8217;s once the engine has been broken in (and as I learn how to control the throttle and shift better).</p> <p>I&#8217;ve already started looking at my replacement ride. This bike was always meant to be a learning bike but I&#8217;m already wishing I had more power, at least for the takeoff.
