I currently own 2 gl1800's. One is an 02, and the other is an 09. Both are level 1 bikes, with the 02 having 25K miles, and the 09 is currently at about 3K miles.
I am seeing 40 plus MPG on the 02 regardless of riding loaded with passenger, or not.
I cannot break intothe 40's with the 09 no matter what I do. The 02 also has quicker throttle response, and I am quite sure would eat the 09 in a roll-on. I don't buy the idea that the 09 isn't broken-in enough yet. I have reset the ecu, to no avail. I seem to have read where some have noticed much better fuel mileage with the newer bikes, but this sure hasn't been the case for me.
ANY IDEA'S??
