I use reserve every time. Here's 2013's fill data. 2014 has yet to be entered from my phone.

As noted earlier, running the fuel tank that low is NOT GOOD for your fuel pump, the fuel cools the pump.
IMO, I don't let it get below 2 bars max. Doesn't take 5 minutes to fill up, why chance "pushing" or extra wear and tear on the pump, sucking crap into the filter, etc.. Just my 2cts
Although it may not be good from a technical standpoint, do not estimate the quality of the OEM fuel pump. 90% of the time, I will always refuel after the trip meter begins, usually between 10-20 miles and will take between 4.1-4.5 gallons. Considering that my fuel pump is still the original pump, we are talking over 100k miles and over 7 years old.

Another thing that I lately noticed, is that my bike rinse better (livelier) if I put brand name gas like Shell, BP, Mobile, etc. Over the no-name brands. Especially on a warmer weather (80+).
Dono, maybe it's air/fuel mixture plays role... or just my impression....

Anyone know what F-Trip stands for?
I've got 80 miles out my reserve hahaha and thats driving fast and super smoothe, pulling the cutch in before red lights lool. only possible at 4 am I think the FZ6 or and sport bike for that matter will run better much farther on higher octane fuels. I only fill my bike with proper fuels like BP or shell no supermarket garbage. the additives they put in help the engine run very efficiently and economcally too if that is the goal. even more so with the super fuels.In the UK standard fuel is 95 octane grade, thats what I use most the time. Occasionally i treat her 98 or 99, those premium fuels have even more cleaning properties.Try fill up with a tank of 99 and you will notice power at the bottom end is much more potent, and the longer combustion really comes through on the highly tuned Yamaha power plant. The fizzer was born for the motor way, stay around 110/120 and you will easily get 200 miles. Stayng contant with these fuels is esstials or i find that they in fact burn faster.
as for you question or reserve . on windy roads dont plan on getting more than 30 miles windy or 50 motorway, nd as i said b4 depends what octane of fuel you are running and how smoothe your are from a stop and through the gears (if you are capable of driving like a grandaddy purp) hahha not me
i would say my max mileage is more than 200 and my minimum is less than 50 when in a hurry lol
how about you guys? anyone ran race fuels? @finallmpact i wanted to ask how good the bazzaz fuel controller works over stock? esp with your 2 bros. im liking the layout of that one compared to power commander im not sure why, how have your maps worked out for you?
