I would have reckoned on carb icing, mine does it something awful when the temp drops below 10C. Other possibility is a blocked pilot jet. Unleaded leaves a gum when it evaporates which can block up the jets. I always drain the float bowls when I lay the bike up for the winter.
However you also mention using a lot of fuel which doesn't add up with these, are the chokes sticking on?
