    I get around 19 to 22km/l so about 240km on the standard tank.
    I've fitted a safari tank now though so should get 450 plus km

    I'm pretty happy with the safari tank. I do notice it a bit on the inside of the knees when standing in a forward position. Ultimately I would prefer to sacrifice a litre or two to have the side panels at the rear of the tank sculpted in a bit narrower.

    Plastic tanks can be expanded by filling with hot-water and applying a few psi air,,
    Probably possible to heat and push the width in a bit,,,

    Fuel mileage.... he the real question is how much does the minimum farkles cost... My DR has had more money in bolt on extras than petrol bills.
    And if your concerned about range its a problem across all of these bikes in this category, just buy a bigger tank.

    A quick approximation... my DR is approaching 20,000km. Over three years that's about 1400L of fuel at say $3000, pocket money compared to all the farkles

    Not quite the same for me... I've tracked about 90k of 105k, over 4800L of fuel and costing in excess of $10,500.

    Farkles still cost more
