32 up to as much as 44. All depends on speed, how hard you are on the throttle, head winds, and that damn ethanol! I am running fuel moto stage 1 with their head pipe, jackpots, and power commander with a canned map from Fuel Moto! Put this on at 1,000 miles and am now at 29,550.
I'd say you are doing just like most of the rest of us!

I'm probably right at 40MPG at 75mph, and I only weigh 170, so I dont think you're getting particularly low gas mileage. Other than making sure your tires are inflated properly, enjoy the extra gas stop on a 500 mile ride.

Still below 2000 miles so my mpg may be affected by that but I've never been much over 40 mpg and usually around 35.
But just did a quick 'back of the envelope' calculation. For each 100 miles driven the actual cost difference between 35 and 45 mpg is around $2.50 (assumes gas ~ $3.85/gal.).
When I spend over $20k for a bike one of the last things I worry about is mpg unless it was way off indicating a problem.

2010 here, 220 and I was starting to sweat.
Filled it up and put 5.4 gal in the tank.
I will also say it varies with Heat, wind, and wether or not you get good gas. I've filled with crappy gas and gotten only about 160 miles on 5 gal, ever since that one purchase of crappy gas I can tell if what I bought is good or bad.

milage
I've got a 13 limited now with a power vision. My odometer is spot on with my GPS because I set it that way through the PV. I always squeeze the last drop in at fill ups, so it's not a matter of not filling it up as much. As a matter of fact, I pretty well run a MPG calculation every fill up.
last bike was a 11 limited and it got crap for milage. It also didn't have the power this one does. A couple of weeks ago I was going up a really steep grade riding double at 75MPH in 6th gear. I wanted to see what it would do, so I rolled the throttle a little and it didn't hesitate. It just accelerated to 80 with no problem. The 11 limited would have just crapped it's pants.
When the 13 was new, it would never get over 40 MPG. Now it routinely gets 45 riding double and accelerating pretty aggressively.
It will only get about 40 if I'm running 70+, but on the backroads running 65 or less, it does great.

Damn wish I could say I got that good. Getting around 140-150 miles to a tank. I figured up the last run I made to a training course in Houma, LA 503 miles 4 fill ups at 4.5 gallons. Roughly 28 mpg that's running 70-80 mph. Solo as well
