Nice looking XT6E in Black. What year is it?
Both my bikes will normally do 60 mpg+ when being ridden sedately. I'm not a fast and furious rider in any case. As I approach my 50's I tend to enjoy relaxing trips into the countryside riding no faster than 50mph. My days of furiously charging around London on a white BMW R75 are over.

I hate anti-social behaviour in every form especially unlawfully loud exhausts and dangerous speeds. Too many nutters out there because the roads are no longer properly policed.
I think that with careful use of gears and throttle it's possible to get upto 70+ mpg from a tank of fuel.
I freely admit that when riding, I often find myself riding in a too higher gear for proper control. I like to sqeeze as much miles from a tank as humanly possible (no I'm not a Scot I'm English). lol.
Ridden hard (which I never do) I think you will bring it down sub 45 mpg. Most riders report around 55 mpg as normal.
No doubt about it the XT600E is an economical bike to run in almost every way.
My bikes are both low mileage and they are pampered. Plenty of TLC and not much (if any) mud. lol.
