    How far on a tank of gas?

    Don't think this has been polled before - according to the search machine anyway...

    So how far can you go on a tank of gas? Post details if you can be bothered....

    The VStrom - around 300 - 360 kms depending on type of riding.

    My RE5 120 - 140 kms at legal road speeds. 160 if I really ride it hard.
    Time to ride

    Just rode from Auckland to Queenstown on a BMW R1200RT tourer.

    Riding with an adult pillion and luggage, the bike would hit reserve at 480km and still had about 90km in reserve. So the total range was around 570km. According to the bike computer, the trip average speed was around 85km/h and the average fuel consumption was around 5 liters/100km.

    Fuel tank capacity is 27 litres.

    Beemer 350-400kms 23 litres
    Ducati 240-280 17.5 litres

    I think a better thread would be how many kilometers / litre.

    Oh. I forgot about my Ducati MH900e. Makes for a good comedy option compared to the BMW!

    It has an 8.1 litre tank and gets 130km before the fuel warning light comes on.

    '90 GPX 250 gets about 300k's before hitting reserve (14L to fill from there). Never run out of reserve - & don't plan on it!

    Up to about 200 kms on the Husky 610sm.

    Not entirely sure, but if I rode sensibly I suspect I could do at least 250 kms on the 750. It certainly has a better fuel economy than my old 250 at open road speeds...

    Never run out of gas on either of my bikes,but the light on my Hyper comes on about 160km after using 10/12 litres and my XT660X at 210km after 10/15 litres.

    Not in this case Anthrax - I am specifically interested in distances between refuelling stops - which is relevant when touring...km/l doesn't tell me that.

    I get 270 to 300 (never ran the VTR out - having no reserve...)!

    I'm surprised at the difference in consumption between pootling along at 105... and pootling along at 125 over the same road - top gear all the way - for a whole tank. Reasonably comparable excepting the speed.

    18.5km/l down to 16.5km/l.

    Aaaa well - as my old boss used to say - if you keep a lot of horses... you have to feed 'em!
