Dannog,
I'm 6ft 85kg's. As for the secret, I just try to ride smoothly. Everytime you hit the brakes you waste fuel. I try to use throttle control but every now & then some fun just must be had. It could also be that my local Ducati dealer have the bike tuned very well. So possibly a combination of those.

what's your secret  - do you weigh 65kg or something?

There's nothing wrong with being 65kg's or less....  cheeky cheeky

My S4R has a 14L tank (apparently?) im only getting about 150-160km on out of city runs before my fuel light comes on. Seems a bit on the low side to me, does this sound right?

Cheers

You're not riding it hard enough, I've run out of fuel at 119klm and nearly jammed 12 litres back into it.
