Very surprised at how different a sportbike is than a standard

I think that is on the low side but it does fall in the range for that bike.
I would expect it to average 40.

(Still cracks me up that my old fat ZX-11 would average 46-50mpg and all the modern lightweights are averaging in the 30's)

Doesn't really make me laugh considering how much power and revs they are getting out of them nowadays.

Well...I am more easily amused than you.
