Since the NC part stands for New Concept, and the impetus for this very reasoning was based on: "According to the stats, 90 per cent of all riding is done below 140kph and an engine only ever revs above 6,000rpm just 20 per cent of the time." kind of thing, unfortunately it just may be that how you like to ride could be on the ragged edge of the NC's average comfort zone.
Much like there are riders here on the forum who get way above the norm for mpg's because they tend to favour sub 55 mile an hour speeds.
It's tough for me to consistently ride below 55 mph, but conversely, I never consistently ride much above 65 mph either. I'm closer to probably always at about an even 60 mph at 3000 rpm in 6th. In town, I'm the reverse. I can't seem to get the hang of sticking at 3k and below rpm, I am usually closer to 4000 rpm in too low a gear for any kind of efficiency, mostly because I like the sound of the engine and exhaust, and a little more perkiness.
This combo of riding styles translates into my pretty average-to-lower mpg stats I'm seeing.
