I used to get over 60 mpg on the super slab on my 71 Triumph 650 Tiger.I ran it about 70 mph. It ran a single 30 mm Amal carb. Fixed timing and no aero. I get about 50 mpg on my 700 virago Vtwin with a single 34 mm slide throttle carb and shaft drive. Driving about the same speed.
I think one of the keys is to have few cylinders and a single small carb.
