So you would have gotten further than 140 km, but we stopped every 110km (ish).. so i filled up each time just in case! In the twisties I get about 170km

Interesting. If you don't look at the speedo, and just let the thou settle at it's natural speed, it tends to sit at about 155 normally. You have to make an effort to keep her at that, it's tough to settle her down.

I find that I need to get off the bike every 100 or so k's anyhow, so the limited fuel range isn't the issue it might be for others...

I'm coming on the next adventure.......
