That's rare for a stock bike not needing any choke, especially in the cold.
There is a good chance the PO shimmed or installed a jet kit with the slip on. Even so it does not account for the really low mileage when driving at low rpms.

How do your air filter and spark plugs look? Is your snorkel still installed?
Does the exhaust smell like fuel while warming up or riding?

Even though you are meticulous in your fueling procedure, I'd still run through a whole tank to see if there is any change after checking the basic stuff. Are you pumpimg your own gas in Jersey?
