It makes a difference on all of our bikes. I usually get about 45 on my 
SV (first gen.), but I managed to get 35 on I-5 with saddlebags at 85 
mph. OTOH, one ride a couple of years ago we were going rather slowly (I 
think it was because one of the bikes had a problem) and I was astounded 
to see 56 mpg over 240 miles.

One friend I ride with has a GSXR 600 and usually gets 35-37 mpg when I 
get 45. What's up with that? It feels fine and runs well. Is this what 
happens when you run a GSXR at low revs?
