the single best way is to modify the way your engine management system works. No not the black box stuffed full of electronics, but the thing on the end of your right forearm  .
Seriously, a gentle right hand can make enormous difference. When tuning carbs, be careful not to over weaken them. I found with short stroke Triumph engines fitting a smaller bore carb made huge difference in mpg. Switching to CV type would probably help too. With real engine management, sometimes it is possible to get 'touring' chipsets. is always worth checking your air filters are not choked. do not be tempted to remove them.
run the ignition as advanced as possible without pinking. A real engine manage ment system will do this and compenasate for varying fuel quality. Mechanical units work fine ifthe fuel quality is fairly constant. The old idea of teh advance mechanism operated by cable was useful, but being manual needed rider input... not an in thing.
you could switch to a diesel bike, these all do in excess of 100mpg . see here for an idea DieselBike.net - Diesel Motorcycles
