AnTyx is right. There is a set profile for emissions and fuel consumption testing. It may not be 100% realistic but it's close and it's consistent, so you should be able to compare 2 vehicles that have done the same test. How it performs out on the road is up to the rider of course. On my 790 I used to get high 60s mpg but just lately I've been doing "advanced riding" (mainly involving keeping strictly to speed limits) and I'm getting 73.
