Hey bumlbe, I just got a homemade VW trike. 1915cc engine and the first couple tanks I'm getting about 25 without passenger
Hi,
I was wondering what kind of gas mileage you guys were getting with your particular trike. Please note what make bike and trike manufacturer you have.
I have an 1800 Goldwing with Motor Trike and I am getting 27mpg without a passenger.

I have an 06 gl1800 with a Hannigan Kit...last tank was 34.3. the one before that was 33.8...may have had a tailwind on the last one... Ride two up most of the time..
07 gl1800 with CSC-----34 to 38 MPG.
my HD Tri-Glide is around 32mpg.The rest are liars.
DFT trike as low as 28 with wife on back pulling a 500# trailer and doing 75-80 mph vers 41 MpG just me following my HOG friends on back roads under 50 MPH ( I think a lot of them HD with straight pips running rich mix was feeding my motor.. 34 to 36 is average but i don't count on much because the smile on my face is priceless.

2008 Goldwing CSC. I just got mine. A recent 140 mile round trip with a passenger gave me 35mpg at 70mph mostly fwy and some town driving too. I noticed that the speedometer was 4 miles fast at 70 (I have a GPS) which probably lowers my mpg to...(uh...you do the math on that one)...probably 33-34 I guess. I've got just under 4000mi on my odometer. Motor was warm at both fill ups. Hope that helps.
My 08 GLi800 Hannihan is only about 2 months old. Last two tanks, all with wife on back - 31 mpg. Hope in improves.

Running normally - 2 up below 3000 RPM we get right around 35mpg, little more or less. Towing the loaded Bunkhouse up the freeway at 75 - 80 it's down to about 28. Riding the twisties in the Ozarks jumps the mileage around the 40 mark as the speed and RPM goes way down. Pretty close to the reports of other GW1500 owners.
