  Tfrank59 this was a ride that did both, types of riding, as in towns, along major highways only as a means to get to the secondary roads. The Cabot Trail was also in this.
So I would say yes to your question, but having you understand that there was a say 65% highway riding and the the 35% city and tourist area riding.......

  OH forgot to add this info:

Well consider this also because I thought to do this while on the road, me in my clothing and boots with rain gear on = 259 lbs, black sissy bar pack as it was, 45 lbs, and the saddle bags including the fuel can with gas in it was another 35 lbs so a total of 339 lbs of weight on the bike during the trip.

Yeah that's way better than what I get I'm only doing about 35 MPG. But I guess you're talking about a long trip on the highway isn't it

So after keeping track of my fuel and my kilometers, during my ride to the east coast I have this figured out.
17 km to the liter
5.75 liter per 100 km
49.0 miles per gal.

So not bad....
