If that doesn't help, do the plugs after that I'd look at the TB.

If it's any help, I was getting 120 miles (commuting through Aberdeen) and 160 on duals from a full tank on my curvy.
I dont have a problem with locking/sliding the rear
Its the bike honestly..

tyres only have ~500 miles on them, new chain >500 miles ago, new plugs oil and oil filter for ~300 miles..

I do hardly any miles on dual carriage way, its all country roads, A roads and B roads..
No town riding at all really..
Maybe thats the problem..

Arron's TL did get better economy than my SV on motorways, but thats when i had the throttle stop and airbox washers..

I dont feel I over rev and dizzy agrees, keep it between 4500 and 8000 usually, most of the journey is fast A road though, with constant overtaking and the lyk...
