What type of fuel economy would i be looking at for a 2000 m900? or other bikes in that era.

anywhere between 18mpg to 60mpg.  :P

I would guess high 30'ish depending on riding style

My 2000 750 gets about 48 - 53mpg  Before having the carbs redone, it was down to about 30.

It depends on your riding and the bike's state of tune, but typical mileage on a stock bike for a typical rider is around 35-40.

I was getting about 40 on my S2R and then put on a PCIII, open airbox, full exhaust and lighened it up a bit and now get around 50

another MPG thread?....really?....

it's true.   all the mpg threads should be tossed into one masterthread and mandatory reading for all newbs

Yes

With the itty bitty tanks that come on Monsters, MPG info is pretty critical imo.  @ 60mpg its a useful bike that'll take you places.  At 30mpg it'd need a can strapped to the back to be much good (for my favorite type of riding anyway).  Wife's 620 seems to do 57-60mpg in moderate to warm weather.  Haven't calculated it out, but it did worse on the last tank which was mostly in the rain. 

For comparison the buell xb12xt did 49.7 on the boston-dc trip, moderate temps, just a little rain.  The TL does low 40s in the summer with typical street riding, low 30s with a really hard flogging and high 30s in the winter for typical street riding.  DR250 is anywhere from 50-75mpg depending on temp and how hard its pushed.  CR250R does about 25mpg off road if not flogged too hard and the XR650R seems to get almost 30 (again off road, on-road numbers would be way higher).

I have a '01 900 (injected) and I get average 40 mpg, +/- 5
