62 to 65 mpg riding locally/urban. Bike has done 14 K. Fuel economy has got better and better as bike has worn in. On European 'A' road (French N roads) travelling at 120 kph I get about 60 mpg. I try and avoid motorways so no data for that.
All that said there are so many factors within this. Luggage has been mentioned, headwinds, roads etc. but mainly its riding style. Heavy right hand has the single greatest effect and I can reduce economy by as much as 20% on a spirited ride. Off road/trail riding also dramatically change things.
The trick is ride with a KTM and you will always feel smug as from my experience they really sup the juice. I could get away with filling every other stop by comparison to the KTM but we have a rule of one stops, we all stop, even if its a splash and dash. Mind you the KTM runs with modified cans and is a carb bike so I feel like I increase my economy by just riding behind it as the air itself smells so rich!
