Still breaking the Duc in, but most Monster riders say they get between 50-55 no matter how they ride.

The Duc hasn't been running so hot, so I get anywhere from 37 up to around 45-50 highway (that's normal highway, not blasting down 63 at 100 highway). The Big Dirty's a fucking wind sail but I've gotten as low as 38 and as high as 50.
