If I fill to the bottom of the lip of the neck and take it easy on the throttle, I can hit about 150mi until I get into the red. The largest determining factor of mpg is your right hand, assuming everything is in proper working order with proper tire pressures

I actually found that by running my 750 in the higher rev range, I get better mileage. I was getting around 130 miles per tank when shifting at lower RPM's and cruising in sixth most of the time.
When I shift in the 7-8k range for a more spirited ride, and keep it in the 6k range at speed, I'm getting about 150 to a tank.
I recently did a trip to a friend's place where it was all major highway driving, doing about 80mph on average, I got about 180 miles to the tank.

Ridden sensibly / moderately and without luggage, I regularly return over 300 miles per tank when exploring the B-roads. Best I had was flicking to Reserve at about 260 miles. With full luggage and touring, range drops to about 270 miles. Aggressive riding in the hills still returns over 220 miles. Proper tuning and your right wrist can make a huge difference.

Wish I got near that! 31mpg is all I'm getting at the moment on a 2 mile there-and-back commute
I'll maybe do a full service over the long weekend and see if it improves, but with all I'm riding at the moment, I'm sure I use more fuel starting the damn thing than it uses up going past the two traffic lights to work lol.
