Keep stretching her legs for a proper break in and the M.P.G. should increase along with noticeable smoother running and a nicer exhaust note too. After approximately 3000-4000 miles mine was objectively noticeably better in all categories and continued to improve to 9,000 ish miles much like "old" BMW engines used to.I just got my bike, 2023 R18 TC, and I’ve only been on one long ride, about 90 miles and about 40 miles of driving through small towns. The computer is reporting 43mpg.
I think the R18 Classic with 2400 miles that I traded in was getting around 50 Mpg during my normal trips in Rock mode in the countryside. I expect the TC will get better.Keep stretching her legs for a proper break in and the M.P.G. should increase along with noticeable smoother running and a nicer exhaust note too.

My observations on the biggest impacts to my mileage have been consistently repeatable, but certainly YRMV. I'm not sure if your TC has better drag factors, but my Classic is as aerodynamic as a sheet of plywood and sustained speeds of 80+ sees significant drops in mileage, but flogging it has little difference v. "Driving Miss Daisy" mode and while many states have "good" petrol others have pathetic blends that gave very poor mileage (easily a loss of 10 M.P.G.). Bottom line, I'm approaching 18K on my R18, weigh 250 LBS and have taken her around the lower 48 and over a bunch of miles on our local mountain roads and outside the "problem" circumstances I described I count on 48-50 M.P.G. and 99% of the time in Rock mode.
