Worst fuel economy I've had has been on motorways. Blasting down to a friends place in France, at 90-100mph (true speed indicated by GPS) last year I went onto reserve at about 150 miles.
This is my second AT and fuel economy is identicle to the first bike.
I had one of the new 650 Transalps in between the two AT's and whilst the fuel economy was better on the TA, around 60mpg, the extra tank range on the AT more than makes up for the difference. I don't tend to thrash my own bikes particularly, as I have access to bikes at work and thrash those!
Worst fuel economy has been on my 100GS which on occassion drunk fuel in the low 30's. Conversly the most fuel efficient was a 650GS which was very frugal and returned 65+ mpg. Shame the bike was crap though!
