    Thank you. Appreciated. Got to admit, I've had a few different bikes in the past but the legend makes me smile.

    A tank a whisker over 3 gallons at just under 50 mpg will see you brim to dry in about 160 miles.

    Depends how you ride it I guess!
    I could get my little VFR400 down to about 35mpg if I was really trying.

    On a test like that I’ll do the calculations like dozers dad put out as an idea then I carry a 1ltr plastic thinners bottle nr the end mileage to where I think I might run out and ‘go for bust’

    If there's no gauge or light does it not have a reserve?

    Hi Kev and welcome to the forum :cool: Agree with DD, as I usually get 180km/112miles to fill on my 1200cc Speedmaster, but usually have 10% (2l) left. Advertised at 48mpg which is approx 5l per 100km. I have run it dry once, but calculations are easier at 10l use (12l tank).
