I too have an XJ6 and my city mpg is about 30 mpg and motorway is about 50mpg. It is a lot lower than I would have expected, but I don't think there is anything you can do about it especially for short commute trips. The mpg is my only gripe about the bike. Good value and plenty of power for the average rider. Some cheap options, like the basic tail light but you are still getting a lot of bike for your money. With the 17 liter tank and 50mpg, you really have to keep an eye out for a petrol station at about 200 miles or you could be in trouble!
