34,000 km. 87 octane fuel w/ 10% ethanol. 15W40 oil. Tires at 33/36 psi F/R generally, 34/38 psi for touring with saddlebags.
I've been using it a lot for highway touring for the past few years. Averaged 4.25 L/100 km in long distance touring with tank bag and saddlebags, before modding the bike (besides the exhaust system).
