Ok, time for me to post the latest version of my spreadsheet again.
The pdf here:
http://www.krose.plus.com/peter/petrol_tracking.pdf
is the last 33,000 miles of riding that I've done, and (practically) everything I've spent on my SV, from learing to ride, all the servicing, insurance and other bits and pieces.
A couple of things to note:
People here keep asking about average mileage to expect, and some people have been doing some testing, although only based on one or two tanks of fuel... I have a (for those that are familiar with stats) a 12.66 mile standard deviation on the calculated range of a tank. It really depends on the riding you're doing, and the time of year.
Secondly, in the last month or so, some of the numbers are a little screwy recently - my speedo pickup failed, so I lost use of the Odometer, hence the column showing displayed mileage, and the column of 'actual mileage'. Also, I had a sticking front brake, which appears to have been knocking a couple of miles per litre off the economy.
That said, those problems only apply to about five of the last eight tanks, so in terms of the number of fillups, will have hardly affected the overall figures.

Anyway, some headline figures:
2000 SV650S - Used mainly for commuting and motorways, but some playtime too.
Total mileage by me : 33786 miles
Fuel used : 3276 litres
Fuel cost : £2763
Cost per mile : 8.2p
Fuel economy : 46.8 miles per gallon
Average mileage between fills : 123.7 miles

Running costs (fuel, servicing, tyres etc)
Total expenditure : £5,832.95
Cost per mile : 17.3p
Cost per day : £5.88

Total expenditure on bike : £13,939.52
Cost per mile : 41.3p
Cost per day : £14.40
