well there's a possibility I could well be on a bike with one of the smallest tanks around for this, but even then I think 90 miles is it's range, so should be able to manage it.

Still not that bothered as I know the area fairly well and if needs be can find my own juice.

Cheers Mark.

I don't normally think of filling up till I've hit at least 100 miles. By 120 miles I'm thinking about where the next fuel stop is.

i have done 2 AR rides and my VTR is a thirsty girl and i have never come close to running out. The VTR has a range of a stunning 80 - 90 miles. If i can make it round anyone can

65 miles should be ok, even for a Firestorm. The worst I ever got out of mine was 63 miles from full to empty, but that involved 63 miles of absolutely hooligan behaviour on North Bedfordshire country lanes.

65 miles is good with us. Liz's Duke is a bit thirsty, but it'll do 65 miles no trouble
