I'm at 92hp and I get about 48 on the highway. In town maybe 30. How your bike is tuned will greatly affect your MPG

Just calculate it out for yourself. Fill the tank completely to the top. Set the trip odometer to zero. Ride about 150 miles. Fill tank up to the top again. Then divide the number of miles you rode (eg. 150 on the trip odometer) by the amount of gas the fill-up took. If, for example, you rode 150 miles and the fill-up took 3 gallons, your fuel mileage is 150/3 or 50mpg - and so on.
