Regarding MPG it really depends on how you ride. I think I once calculated that running full power 70HP would be around 15 litres per hour. At the other end of the scale my commuting which is mostly rural gives me over 60mpg.
I actually think that's pretty poor and an indication that MPG isn't a high priority. I say that because on a similar commute I got nearly the same MPG from my CBR600 which was carburettor rather than FI, heavier, bulkier, more powerful and of course older.

Sadly I have to lower the pegs or sell it. I have a dodgy knee and just can't ride it for any length of time with my leg cramped up like the standard riding position makes me.
High 30s mpg is what I used to get out of my zx9r lol"! I do the same journey on my commute every day and riding in central London on my old curvey got me much higher mpg and when I changed the plugs it was fairly obvious it was, or had been, running rich? Google seems to throw up lots of threads about this on the first of the pointies, so maybe that's just the way some of them are? Rides well enough so I can live with it, just would have preferred to have leaned it out a bit if possible.

That's good going! I did use to average c55 on my old curvies!
