I went for a trip last year with my friend both of us on dl650's, mine an K7 and his a K5, riding at a steady pace (50mph) through the alps we were getting 65MPG, (my K7 was a little worse but I put that down to me being heavier on the throttle.)
BUT... when riding fast, say around 110mph for long distances (full tank fulls) the economy was down to 38-40 MPG.
this was loaded up with alloy panniers, camping gear etc and tall touring screen.
