What kind of riding did you do? I find all IL4's I've had are more thirsty than the SV...and hp is directly proportional* to economy since hp is energy and energy is the fuel. So on average, the hp you used in the 6R's power band, was less than the hp you used in the SV's power band (only way that can happen to you).

*there is a slight factor of how economically the engine releases energy from the fuel, i.e. how much energy transfer is there that doesn't go to the crank/back wheel/etc. But it's not really going to make a massive difference here.
