Wow, well that is encouraging, I like my mileage, but still it would be hard to go back to my R1250RS jp
 
I also do the math each fill up and find the display to be fairly accurate. I’m getting similar mileage as neilsm and use 40 as a baseline, but as the mileage has increased so has my MPG and I’ve had almost a gallon remaining with a couple of fill ups right at 180 miles traveled. If “all” of our listed volume is useable it will be close to your rs range. I had a 2016 1200rs and just over 200 miles she and I were both happy to find a petrol station.

I run at a spirited pace and a majority of my riding is nice twisty farm and mountain roads as I live in the foothills of the Appalachians and the little bit of interstate now and again is usually 70-85 MPH on cruise control. I weigh approximately 250 LBS so not a max load for her, but not a featherweight by any means.
