Additionally, all the motorcycles are usually tuned to meet the EURO environmental regulations, and Guzzi went through those by playing with the FI on these air cooled engines. That equated to a lower mpg. For a bike meant to tour, it is a drawback. According to the available litterature, at cruise speeds, you will get to 170 miles on a tank. If you really ride it hard, then it will be about 140 miles.

That can be improved by remapping the ECU.

Remapped my 8V with a Beetle map. Getting 45 mpg or so on highway.

Made a large difference in the power curve, pulls from near 2,000 rpm all the way up without any flat spots. Torquey beast, gets up and goes.
