Hello.
I just rolled the 1000 mi mark on my CB1100 and have been carefully watching my mileage since day one. I was seeing 43-45 mpg at first and was staying under 4K rpm for the first 600-800 miles. At 750 miles I did the first oil service, a change over to full synthetic and a K&N oil & air filters, and started revving closer to 5K rpms.
MPG is still consistently on the 45-47mpg range.
While I ride solo I am a larger guy, 280 +/-, and I DO enjoy our wonderful WV country roads. I am pretty satisfied with what I'm seeing.
