That's excessive. With the exception of the oil in the drain tube, my bike's never used a drop since new, 21,000 miles on her now.
Have you checked the drain tube by chance ? it is possible that you have an airbox full of oil! and rather than using oil, it's loosing it ? Appriciate it's a 2009 bike, but it's possible it's a 2008 registered late? In any case, it'll only take a minute to check.
At a litre every 1000 miles you should be able to see smoke out of tailpipes, in fact I'd say that you would leave a cloud behind you!
