I normally see about 40 mpg during my weekly commute back and forth to work which is about 50/50 city/highway. I try to stay below 4500 RPM's for most of the trip. However, I do venture into the upper RPM range for a2 mile stretch when I get into Mexico.

If I behave, 42 to 44mpg. Abought 165 to 180 before fuel light comes on. But very easy to drop to low 30try's with more twist of right hand.....06 cbr 1000rr.

What year is your bike?
Low mpg might be caused by this -> https://cbrforum.com/m_439009/tm.htm

I would say everyday riding one would get about 35-40 mpg with conservative riding, but when it starts to get aggressive, I've gotten less than thirty....A lot does depend on the rider's style.

From what I haveheard, these bikes are known to run very rich in comparrison to other 1000cc, sothe difference between 6k RPMS and 4K RPMS would be huge,tach her down a notch and your milage will go up, Stay in the lower third of your RPM range, when you start getting up into the 50% range your getting close to the power band when she is burning most fuel. easyiest way give yourself an extra gear. I'm not going to lie this is what i have experienced on my R6 i had, My buddy with the exact same bike was surprised when i was gett 49-50 mpg to his 35mpg, and it was because he was always in a lower gear than i was, rather than down shifting to pass he would just roll on it andup shift as he went by.
