Motorcycle mileage

I ride a Honda XR650L on/off road bike. The best I can manage for mileage is about 50 mpg. I know most motorcycles are tuned for power and not economy, but when cars like the Corolla, weighing ~2500 pounds and with a 1800 cc engine get 41 mpg highway, 50 mpg seems ridiculously low. I just had it tuned at the dealer, too.

With a gross vehicle weight of about 275 pounds and a single 650 cc cylinder, why is my motorcycle mileage so low?
