Hello and welcome.
I would suggest any litre bike is going to return similar figures when ridden "enthusiaticly", certainly to acheive noticeably better figures I have to make an effort to restrain my wrist and keep the revs around 4k RPM by doing so I can get 55 MPG but that's not my usual riding style. If you're riding like a vicar on his way to a parishoners meeting (aplogies if you are a gentleman of the cloth) and you are getting 30-35 MPG then something could be amiss, could you have a fuel leak, have you checked the colour and condition of the plugs to see if the bike is running rich?
