Seemed to me, 2000 miles was where both of mine really settled into where the mpg was highest and constant. You should expect low to mid 50 s when broken in if ridden with a modicum of civility. Where you ride matters as well, country riding will yield better mileage than city riding with all the stop and goes. My 6 speed averages about 3 mpg more than my 5 speed did... 57 vs 54. I ride single up, country roads, 45 to 60 mph. On individual tanks I have gotten as high as 64 mpg on the 6 speed. On freeway jaunts with sppeds in the 70s that drops down into the 40s.
