I consistently see 65+- US mpg. Just cause I'm a Paw Paw don't mean I gotta ride like one. I normally shift at about 4000 rpm, rarely exceed 70 mph.

I'd have to agree that it's mostly in the wrist. Ever since I got a Buell Ulysses back in '09, i've been training myself to shift sooner than I "felt" I should have. I've continued this practice on the NCX, although training myself to shift at the REALLY low RPM points in the manual has been challenging at times. I try, though. I've definitely found that winding out the revs on take off has a noticeable effect on the mileage. So do freeway speeds, especially when coupled with headwinds. Stop 'n' go city traffic cuts into the mileage figures, too. Fortunately I don't commute on this bike, since I'm retired. Lots of 200 - 400 mile day trips, though -- just rarely on the freeway.
I'm 250#, 5'10", and have a CalSci sport windshield and Honda side & tail bags.
Here's my current Road Trip display:
The app is "Road Trip". There's a free version & a pay version. Mine is on my iPhone.
There must not be an Android version... I'm just finding games with that name in the Google Play store.
Looks like an interesting app.
No idea how any of you get such amazing gas mileage. I average around 58 mpg. I'm in Los Angeles, though with lots of traffic. My best fuel up ever was 71 mpg and that was during a road trip.
I started out new getting 56mpg,after a few tanks it went to 58.After a few more it hit 60mpg where it has stayed for 1,500 + miles.Those are ALL commuting miles,same route and time of day.Last weekend we took a 125+ mile ride all open country/freeway and it jumped to 75mpg !!.

You're on a good pace - I got in ~7,000 miles in three months right after buying the bike before winter set in here last fall. Be safe and wear your safety gear.Logged a little over 1300 miles so far. Just got the bike on April 27th. Average mpg is 59.8 and my best so far was 64.9mpg. Not bad considering I have a heavy wrist.
