70-75mph freeway speeds with stock gearing and a 130/90-17 rear tire give me about 45-48mpg. On a tour of Yellowstone I got 59mpg doing the speed limit of 45mph.
If you look at my fuel log for my 2007 KLR 650 you will see that I got 62.78 mpg over a distance of 938 miles, this is mostly commutting 84 km/day [52 miles/day] at speeds of 70 mph or more, and some gravel roads at over 60 mph. ocasional short bursts up to 100 mph!
