In my 2019, I burned 2-3 quarts every 1,000 miles. After riding it very hard for about 7k miles I got it down to 1 quart every 1,000 miles.
Running it hard creates pressure in the combustion chamber that forces the piston rings into the cylinder walls and eventually filling all of the microscopic gaps in the mating surfaces. (hope I explained that correctly).
