My 01 750 doesn't get that much MPG... maybe 40?

It all depends on how much you twist that right wrist. :)

My CBR900RR gets right under 50 mpg, with a dynojet jet kit and a full pipe.   My S4, with slipons and pretty much nothing else, gets about 30 mpg.  Go figure.  But the Honda hits a real sweet spot when cruising on the freeway somewhere between 75 and 100 mph, which is where it gets the best mileage.   I've tried various speeds and riding styles with the S4, but it seems that about 30, maybe a mile per gallon or two more, is the norm.

My 2006 S2R-1000 used to get between 45-50, it now gets closer to 40 with the Fat Duc on it

That's probably pretty close. My '02 M620ie gets @ 62MPG, no matter how or where I ride.

Wow.  That's great mileage.  Ive never really accurately checked but my '04 M620ie gets somewhere in the 40's and I don't think it's even high 40's.

Don't sweat those numbers. All of them are about right, give or take a little.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

My 696 gets an average of 50mpg city/highway and over 60mpg when strictly riding on the open highways between fuel stations.

Other bikes I had got fuel mileage as low as 40mpg to 45mpg.

I'm very impressed and pleased with the Monster 696's gas mileage.

same here my 04 620 averages roughly 40 after some engine upgrade work  on normal ride and I think bit less when banging out. I think stock i was getting 50.
620M 2004 Dark i.e.; ~ 57K miles (all me);  Looking to swap out engine now.
Triumph Speed Triple 2006 (now ~ 44K miles bought @ 4K miles on 04/2010)
Honda Grom 2015 ~ 3500miles so far.  Love this lil bike

02 750ie - about 45 mpg unless I ride "spiritedly." Then it drops to about 40mpg.
