Suzuki DR650 Mileage

My new 2016 Suzuki DR650S has a 3.4 gallon fuel tank. No fuel gauge. The owner's manual says that the 3.4 gallons includes a 0.8 gallon reserve. I'm not planning on keeping detail records of mileage, such as on Fuelly, but I'll toss some mileages in from time to time until we can get a sense for what the mileage is going to be like.

April 15, 2016, 130 miles*/**, 2.575 gallons, 50.5 mpg
April 16, 2016, 120 miles**, 2.40 gallons, 50.0 mpg
April 19, 2016, 113 miles**, 2.20 gallons, 51.4 mpg
April 20, 2016, 158 miles*/**, 2.80 gallons, 56.4 mpg
April 24, 2016, 3 separate fuelings 50 mpg, 53 mpg, 53 mpg
April 26, 2016, 2 separate fuelings 48.1 mpg, 56.6 mpg

Reserve@:
     Low = 120 miles
     High = 145 miles

Usable fuel:
     About 3.2 gallons

* in Reserve at time of fueling.
** fueling during the first 500 mile running in period.
