The only reports I have read of ~40 mpg have been magazine road tests, where they appear to thrash the living day lights out of them. My current XTR returns high 60s or low 70s, ridden, er, briskly. My previous 04 had a best figure of a smidge over 80 on a gentle run. I reckon you would have to ride with the throttle to the stop permanently to get anything like 40 mpg.
