What kind of highway gas mileage does this bike get? Is it comfortable for 2 people on the road? I have a VN750 and am looking for a slightly larger bike for my wife and I. The warp drive feature doesn't bother me too much either...

if you dont romp on it too much your looking at 30mpg for a zl1000, zl900 will be similar. in order to get a real nice ride for you and your wife, I recomend you get the seat re-worked. I did and it was much better with the saddle scooped a little more.

Brian - I have a ZL900, and it gets decent gas mileage on the highway - I ride pretty hard, and I get around 30-32 mpg. The seat sucked, so I got it overhauled at a upholster's shop. He added a full 1-inch of foam to the main saddle, and 2-inches to the pillion seat. Much better ride! If you need to know anything else, let me know!
