On a 650 you'll probably average at least 200Km to a tank of petrol, which you'll probably fill up after about 14 litres.
Btw, Firestorms are known as being very, very thirsty bikes. |

Oh, and welcome to the site.
Btw, I once got over 300Kms out of 15 litres. Was petrified about running out though. |

I got as high as 285 KM (ran out at a traffic light with the station in view)
 That was with a mix of city and country riding. I imagine with all touring, I may get a few more. I know of someone who went 320 km and didn't run out though.

I tuned mine in a bit better than standard and I get about 22 km's/litre. I travel about 310km's a week and make it no worries between fillups. Very economical bike
