I'm into only my 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] tank of gas on my “new to me†2001 ST1100 with 71k miles and the first two tanks came in at 41 mpg with fairly mild riding mostly back hi-ways and interstate at the legal speed limit. (Although I did accidently see 105 mph - and realized the tires are balanced nicely) I have been under the impression that I would expect the upper 40's or maybe even 50 mpg if being very easy on the throttle.
The brakes are not dragging so I can rule that out. My next thought is to look at the carbs and perhaps get lucky with just a sync. Any thoughts?
Thus far all I've done on the bike is changed, oil, tires, and rebuilt the calipers and add new pads.
