Tank Range - What do you get?

[horacemorris]

I use mine for mainly commuting and on a good day this can mean 165miles before the last bar starts to flash. When this happens i put in about 13 litres which in turn averages about 57 mpg.

I ususally get 150 miles due to normal commuting back and forth to work and a little better on day trips. I have only gone 2.0 miles on the reserve, and that was today. I have never pushed it.

my gas mileage sucks because I run the ever livin crap out of my bike every time I get a clear path.Its a great little bike; no matter how much gas it burns it stills gets better mileage than any hot rod Ive ever owned and would leave em in its dust!!!:rockon::rockon:

 

[Wolfman]

About 130 miles, and i run it about 20 miles into reserve.

This got down to 110 miles on a recent spirited run of about 100 miles in distance, with a pillion & gear.

Ozzieboy gets about the same...and his is as stock as a rock! I think it's got more to do with the right hand!

well maybe us SA boys are riding too much in the 8000+rpm zone!we have to, to keep the 1000cc boys in check!

Worst ever, my reserve light was flashing by 180km or 112 miles.

My best ever, I got 295km or 183 miles before the last bar started flashing:cheer:.

Usually at around 210-230km or 130-142 miles:thumbup:.

I think this proves that aside from riding into headwinds, it's All about the right wrist:rockon:....lol. (And how hard you try to keep up to that 1000cc machine:rockon

Cheers

somehow I don't believe this was done 'Myth Buster' style.

 

[FZyLarry]

I punched the 180 button but like everyone I get some variation depending on the right hand. I will say that I am amazed at the amount of variation shown on the survey. My poor math says roughly a 20 mpg difference High to low - damn...

myth buster style??

I ride 70 % expressway around 110-140km/h and 30% city road of 40-80km/h:cheer:

 

[opds9091]

as far as my bike, when i changed the sprockets to 15f-48r i believe that i will get less then everyone else, because the sprocket change the tire rotation. I get around 38-43 give or take a few on the riding conditions. When the reserve flasher comes on I'm a bit of a chicken cause I'm afraid of running out of gas and not knowing where the closest station is.

 

[Humperdinkel]

A new record for me the other day , 386.4 kilometres (241 miles) when i stopped for fuel and i put 18.35 litres (4.84 gallons) in her ....Im left wondering if i'd have made it to 400 :don'tknow: but i think i might of

I couldn't even push it that far before all the fuel evaporated. I'd be empty by 300km if I rode relaxed more often than not.
