Default v-star 1100 gas mileage?

I've been averaging 40-42. Is this poor or decent for my bike.

BTW the bike is all stock and has 5500 miles on it. I ride somewhat conservative I suppose.

'06 1100 Custom that i commute with (7000+ miles last year) and I almost always get 45 MPG cruising at 65-70 MPH. Have a friend with an '05 1100 Classic that never goes over 60 and he gets 50 MPG.

I have an 06 V-Star 1100 Silverado and usually average about 41 MPG. I have a 126 mile roundtrip commute everyday and most of it is interstate. That being said, I'm usually running 75-80 mph. If I can keep it around 70 mph I get about 45 MPG. I took a chill trip this weekend averaging about 55 mph and got 51 MPG.
