What's the range including the big tank?
Umm lets see, I'd worked out conservatively that I could get ~130km per ~11L tank. So I'd need 30L to make the 350km to Napier without having to rely on back country servos/public holidays etc.
The 20L on the back turned out to be a bit overkill, as on the last stretch home from Gisborne I managed 190km and only just touched reserve for the last 20km.
I think I could do 600km on the 34L I was carrying if I played nice. Ended up aiming to cruise between 4800-5500rpm which worked out to be 85-95km/h.
Much less tiring on the body at 85-90 on an unfaired bike too.
Cruising at a speed the bike and you are comfortable with is the way to go.
