That's about right for the middleweight bike and larger sidecar.

Honda Valkyrie with texas ranger sidecar. Used to get 28 now I get 23mpg.
Not sure what kind of milage I'm getting but I know it's not like befor. What kind of milage should I exspect on 08 RoadGlide with 08 TLE?
With sidecar you about 2 times wider. Plus one more wheel.
RG/TLE:
Driving on the road below 65 MPH about 40 MPG. around 75 MPH about 30-32 MPG. In town, stop and go, who can tell?

I used to get 7L/100km but I now use 10 L /100km. That's from 40mpg down to 28 mpg at 60mph. At 70mph its 22mpg. That's with a 150lb passenger. I'm sure it's better without the passenger.
I've got 03 Triumph America & a Texas Ranger sidecar. And right now I'm getting 30 MPG at 70 to 80 MPH and at 50 to 60 MPH getting 35 MPG. with no wind. With wind eveything goes south. I'm working for 40 mph I'm going to do some more jetting and mybe some sprocket change. I may not get their but got something shot for.Rudyr.
From what I have read average is 25% decrease in fuel mileage with a sidecar.
Between 40 and 45 MPG with the Savage tug on city streets usually 45 MPH or less. 2 Up.
I'm averaging around 35 with an R75/5 and a Velorex 562, down from 50 without the hack.
this has since gone up to low 40's. Amazing what happens when she learned how to keep the bike in it's power band!
my wifes R1150R/EZS rig gets mid to XXXXX's
With Ural ..about 31-32 With Road King and Liberty about 35.
Dnepr MT-16 (full time two wheel drive) I get around 25 to 28 mpg. The hack is like a barn door, aerodynamically.

This weekend went to a Triumph Rat ralley at the HUB in the Ozark mt. and I was pushing it (50 to 60 mph) I like rideing the sidecar on curve roads thru mountaons. In 4 th. and lower. Got 34 miles. Rudyr
