My newbie experience so far, I get about 44 mpg running around 3500 to 4000 rpm around town and on the highway, the more the bike breaks in the faster I can run in any given gear "cruising", 4th 50-60 mph at that rpm, 5th 55-70 mph, 6th, to infinity and beyond.
After about 800 miles 3 grand was getting to the point where it felt like it was lugging it a little.

In 6th on the highway that range of rpm gives me about 75-85 taking a five mph error off the speedo.
Last time I was at the dealers and talked to the mechanic he said the sweet spot on these bikes was between 3500-4000 and 6K.
