How far will your bike go on a tank?

How far will your bike go on a tank before reserve??

My XT600E would only do 200 before reserve.

Really depends on how you ride it. Takin it easy on the highway about 230ish

i'll get 275 miles at cruising speed using THIS tank, but it will use about 500 gallons of jet a2

[marty]

that's 0.6 miles per gallon.......

[marty]

yeah, well if i put my bike on the tank (like the title says - How far will your bike go on a tank? ) that's how far it will go. Pillock

K4 - about 220k afore the little light comes on - but 270 and still gas in there....

[gamgee]

for the gpx about 200km at a guess seeing as i just got it yesterday it's hard to know
for the vt250f about 170km it's got a smaller tank though (14l)

[Leong]

I got about 320 at the start before I found the other side of 7000rpm, now getting about 280km

[onearmedbandit]

Open road fastish riding gets me about 200km.

Marty, obviously someone deleted their post or you're hearing voices in your head again...

depends on which fuel i use and how i ride..

on my homebrew (60/40 BP98 / Elf Fast Burn and Elf Octane boost..) i get about 300 / tank when im riding with some restraint (BWAHAHAHAH...)on straight BP 98 i get 275 to reserve and on shit Shell 91 i get about 240 to reserve

giving it death.. subtract 70-90 km/ tank

Bike slides for about 200 meters on its tank befor it goes across a ditch then on to a reserve depending on the speed I fell off at and the type of roading surface.

[Teflon]

130 to 150kms

[Toast]

2002 ZX6R...

Nearly 300km before reserve at super-ultra-nana pace...

A reliable 260km with mix of commuting and brisk riding, much of it in top gear, seeing x00km/h on occasion.

Going fairly hard on the track, 130km sees it sputter to a stop unless you reach down quick enough to change to reserve.

Got 230 before I found a gas station,,,,I have no reserve on the Z because somebody in some shop rooted it somehow.This was when the previous owner had it and I'll fix it when I get round to it.
The XS gets 250 to reserve and I belive about another 25-30 after that.

Grumble grumble. The piss poor range of most bikes nowdays is one of my pet grumbles.

Very few can do more than 300km before reserve. Which is actually WORSE than the 200 - 250 miles on Briddish iron donkey's years ago.

Despite the fact that with modern design and some sensible restyling the designers could easily give us 10 gallon tanks. And all the advances in engine design , we still don't see more than 40 or 50 mpg from big bikes. Should be 100 mpg at least. Then we'd have a usefully decent fuel range. 'Tis a pain constantly having to stop for fuel just as one is getting into the swing of things.
