I always like to know the maximum fuel range for my bikes and I figure that my daily commute is the 'least' fuel efficient use of my bike so if I measure a full tank on daily commuting then that mileage will always be a safe 'minimum' range. My daily commute has mixture of 30mph town, dual carriageway, 40mph A-road stop/start x lots and a couple of miles of country lanes. The trip computer gives a consistent 47 mpg consumption.
377 miles were achieved. I've been riding around with a 2.5 litre Jerry can strapped to the rear rack and had to work hard yesterday morning to get her to conk out, which she conveniently did on a quiet country lane. Fuel light at 365 miles.
Interestingly, she took the 2.5 litres at the road side and then 3 miles later at Morrisons she took 35.4 litres into her 33 litre tank... I always fill my bikes up to the very brim so that I have a consistent starting point and always reset the odometer.
