Comfort and a smooth foot is all you need. Eco feels unsafe to me. To forced.

+1 Honestly, the Eco mode is nearly worthless, unless you are in true stop 'n go traffic, where you can basically idle your way along for a while.

I too feel like they could have done a better job smoothing out the delivery of the choked back power in Eco - there is nothing, nothing, nothing so you keep pushing - and then all the sudden, it acts "normal"...kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion.

Update on mine - I am at 2100 miles and the MPG remains stubbornly below 20 MPG. I ride in Sport + and basically nothing else.

Also, Eco only works up to 75 MPH. Who goes 75 on the highway?
