Gas mileage for people that ride it hard?
 

I'm getting mid 50s with the stock speedometer (non-corrected speeds), a 130/80/17 rear tire, and a 13T countershaft sprocket. Fresh valve adjustment, plenty of power, running at 8000-9000 rpm on the highway and pretty much accelerating wide open from every stop when riding on backroads. I'm 275 lbs.

Does this sound about right?

Pretty normal...given the 13T sprocket and WFO through the gears. The engine can take that treatment, no problem. You are probably giving up 5-6 mpg but that only means you go 20 fewer miles to a fillup. No big deal.

I was averaging 56 with the stock gearing, never WTO and all city driving so it sounds about right.

A 13T sprocket came with my bike when I bought it last month. Not sure I am going to use it yet I'm about 205 lbs. I think I'm going to check valves at 2500. I'm at 1900 now.

I get mid 50's when flogging it, but for my normal commute I usually get 65ish on mine (283 big bore kit) and 14k on it....does a little better with non ethanol gas

I never saw 50 MPG on mine, just under that. I did have a speedo corrector, and without that, the bike thinks you've gone farther than you actually have.

I just installed the speedo corrector yesterday, so I expect my mileage to drop considerably. I finally got the connectors from aliexpress and wired them into the SpeedoDRD, so I could just plug it in and not cut up my wiring harness.

I measured my fuel consumption in recent trip

Odometer distance: 591km
GPS distance: 560km
Fuel consumption (Pertamax 92 RON): 23.98L

Bike was fully loaded with pillion (88kg + 65kg). Ridden quite hard but with absolute mechanical sympathy.

Calculated fuel economy:
24.6 km/L (odometer)
23.3 km/L (GPS)

Right on par with my roketa, mid 50s flogging thru the gears, 60 on the backroads, me weighing 290#, with a 13-38 (520 chain) on a 130/90-16 rear
