That's pretty good. I suspect you spend a lot of time on the highway, or have a very light hand on the throttle. You're getting much better mileage than I do.
I spend about 75% of my time in the city and am known for being somewhat of a lead wrist. At my typical 42 mpg, my last bar starts flashing at around 120 miles, with one gallon remaining.
Half my commute is highway, half is surface streets (almost exactly). I try to be in fifth as much as possible, but I don't have any problems gassing it when the occasion calls for it. ;-)
In general, though, I'm pretty easy on the throttle. I average ~50mpg. If it's any indication, I get about 40mpg on my CBR. :-D
