as titled be intresting to see what we are all getting (please state bike aswell)

Full tank give me over 75 miles................at race speeds with 2 litres to spare

Used to get 140miles on the L9 if i was being super careful!!

usually filled up at about 120 to be on the safe side.

About 140 thrashing the tits off it.

110 to 120 miles before reserve mostly ..

although 73 miles to completely empty once .. but that was with luggage and a massive rucksack, and the only point where the throttle wasnt pinned was when i went for reserve (M6 @ night on a trip to scotland)

ZXR 400 L4, no fueling/airflow mods, sensible riding, with the odd 120mph thrash here and there

i leave the fuel gauge on reserve, cant be arsed flicking it from normal to reserve all the time.

Doing my daily commute i get ~43mpg, i fill up once it hits 100 miles.
Going back up and down the motorway i get ~57mpg, i fill it up once it hits 140-150 miles to be on the safe side.

So for a full 16L tank i would get 150 miles before running out doing my commute, and i would get 200 miles going up and down the motorways, again until ive run it dry.

EDIT: commuting this week gave me 113 miles to 10.8L petrol RON 95, so thats 47mpg...not too bad

Most I've got just to see how far I could go from fully brimmed (sat on bike) to reserve is exactly 123 miles, but I use almost purely for fun and I don't need to commute to school/work. Usually fill up around the 100-110 mile mark. 33bhp bike btw.

first tank i got through on my l2 33 brake was 193.4 now i usually get about 160/180 ish, something tells me i need to have a bit more fun

i fill up my h1 at 100miles just to be on the safe side i have once seen 75miles to empty but was having fun lol i mean it ran out and had to walk to get petrol can and petrol luckily i was only down road from asda was on way to get petrol aswell

im going to start carrying 1L of go go juice in a bottle under my back seat lol iv run out 3 times in 2 months ^^

Are you mad? So you can turn yourself into a fireball if you have a minor off and the bottle ruptures? Or someone runs into the back of you

There's a reason why petrol tanks have to meet certain standards of robustness. It's also illegal to store petrol in other than certain authorised containers so when you do turn yourself into a human candle expect plod to come to see you in intensive care (and the insurance refuse to pay out).

Not a good idea. Does your reserve tap not work?

230km+/- about 140miles and i thrash the tits off it from time to time
