I'm getting about that in my manual shorty with 31" MTR's.

Sounds a little on the high side, worse if you're talking long wheelbase model - they have a 92 litre tank vs 75 litre in the shorty.
LWB, on the highway, around 100km/h, without roofracks or trailer - I'd expect closer to 700km to dead empty. Shorty under those conditions, 500km would be about right.
When you fill, how much does it take? Some people fill at 1/4 on the gauge, others wait for the light. My mother won't go below 1/3 on her gauge - doesn't want to "suck the sediment from the bottom of the tank."
She doesn't listen...

yeah that sounds about what i'd be getting in my SWB NH 3Lv6(man) about 400km's in town and about 450-500 on the open road. I've got no r/racks but am lifted and on 33's
