i think i must be heavy throttle handed. i'm getting 42 mpg out of mine all A and B roads, commuting and weekend blasts. As for the mirrors, 2009 bike and i think they are great having spent the last 20 years looking at my elbows on sport bikes. Yes you can see the bar ends and tops of panniers if fitted but you still get a great vibe free view of whats behind you.

2008 and the mirrors are better than anything I've ever ridden, except for the GTR1000.

As for fuel consumption, I averaged 46Mpg over the first 10k miles.
The computer claimed 47Mpg so it's not far off.
Gave up on the spreadsheet after that.
Now I average about 44Mpg (computer) but I do cane it something rotten and I carry a lot more weight than most (me = 27 Stone (170Kg, 380lbs))
