Oh sure Maxswell, bring that scientific approach into the argument about the fastest color!!!! Who ya gonna believe, some nerd or the seat of your own pants??? Heres Collin Edwards from a few years back... Yeller all over the place.....and fast!!!!! No gas mileage however...

A Big Aloha to all, and a Happy 2019. Gas Mileage question on the VFR's!!!!! I have 6 VFR's, had 7 but sold my 2002 last year. Starting with my 86 RWB 750cc and then my 87 White 700cc up thru the generations to my 2003 Silver. All of them get regularly 45 to 50 MPG depending on the Loud Handle Positioning. Some have the air box mods, some do not, doesn't make any MPG difference. I did an Iron Butt a few years ago by myself from San Antonio to west of Phoenix in 15 hours. 1050 miles. Here is my point to this Viffer MPG question, its all about the LOUD HANDLE!!!! On that day of my Iron Butt I was running pretty much 100 to 110 MPH all day and into the night. Had to stop a lot for gas!!! Was getting 30 MPG at that sustained speed so had to stop def before 150 miles on the trip odo. One stretch thru Texas I pushed it too far, didn't see any gas stations coming up, finally pulled into a gas station, the Viffer to took exactly 5.5 gallons. It was completely empty!!!! The only reason I made it to that station was due to easing off on the LOUD HANDLE, slowing down to 45 MPH for about the last 20 miles. Normally 45 to 50 MPG for my scooters and all my friends that also ride VFR's. By the way, the Yellow models are the fastest, everyone knows Yellow is a fast color. Have a safe and enjoyable 2019.
