My bike broke in around the 1200 mile mark and runs like a dream. We rode in 9 days of the Idaho Back country discovery route. The Pitster Pro not only did well, it rocked! As we progressed the bike seemed to finally break in and runs far better than the day we left. Many of the trails we did were first gear, death grip, don't fall off a cliff kind of trails-we averaged about 10 hours of riding per day. Day7 took us 16 hours to complete...
The bikes worst mileage was Day1 at 48mpg. Most days it did 55-59mpg. On a long transfer day crossing the Magruder Corridor it managed 61mpg.
The motor/efi is what makes me like my LXR. Not a race motor, good longevity, doesn't burn oil, good parts availability, a nice big modern clutch, an overkill oil filtration system.
I rode a 300 for 2 years of local desert racing. Absolutely loved that bike, but it's a different niche altogether.
2017 has been a busy year... successful Tour of Idaho run, Provo Loop, lots of Utah single-track, and yesterday - we managed to do the entire 5Miles of Hell loop without dying. It would be hard to come up with a better real world torture test.
