Today, on the 6th day of the ownership, I tanked up the CBR250R for the second time to calculate its first fuel economy. The odo read 352km and she took in 10.47 litres of fuel, translating into a real world fuel economy of 33.61 km/l. However, these were the riding conditions
1. The bike was kept in 5th and 6th for 50% of the time
2. The bike was ridden with a pillion 50% of the time
3. The bike is relatively brand new.
I dont really push her as she is new and believe that after the first service, the economy might actually go up a little. There has been a strong rumors and myths about the CBR250R's mileage being less than 30kmpl - this can be the truth but only if one rides always in congested traffic, or in the evening around the locality with friends where the bike stays in 2nd / 3rd and 4th.
I feel that 33.61kmpl for a 250cc bike indeed is fabulous! More updates coming soon

Also to be noted is that the fact that I ran the bike for around 30km after the last fuel gauge barstarted blinking.
33.6 kmpl is really an amazing figure a 250cc motor for normal riding conditions. But as you said that you were riding in the 5th and 6th gears, riding in lower gears in the city, might present a bit of different story.
