The GF is syphoning some off one week then adding it back the next.

I've made an amazing discovery! Stick to the speed limits and the fuel light doesn't come on until 190 miles! It makes me question how everyone on here drives

Oh, and as I did the trip without stopping for fuel it actually took no longer. 3 1/2 hours in the seat is easily bearable too.

Now where did I leave that 200 crown

Hmm, I'm 17 stone and I managed to get 130 til the light came on last time round, next fill up I'll see what I can do. I'm driving to nottingham at some point (from kent) in the near future, may have to check it out then, see if it's doable on one tank!

Ive never got over 120ish but then Ive never tried, and the light on the K3 seems to come on very early, at about 12 liters.

Well I'm 13 stone, I had a tankbag and a tailbag with an oxford monster AND a series IV almax in so it wasn't exactly light

I just sat at 68-74ish and watched the world go by. Was a really pleasant journey; every time I hit the inevitable traffic I went soaring past all of the cars that where doing 100 earlier. No stress whatsoever

Wifey is looking over my shoulder as I read/type this and says 'hah, typical men! - saying how much they weigh!! Women would never say how much they weigh and if they did they'd make it 3 stone lighter!!!'

And I say - I didn't buy a bike to ride it slow

Achieving 200+ miles is easy if you keep a constant 60-80 for the 200 miles I found... If there is any real stop start then its hard to do.

I got 165 miles on the Zed 2-up the other week - put 15 litres in , its a 18.5 litre tank, so at 11 miles a litre over 200 should be possible.

I have had 64mpg out of my SV, that was riding at 65 - 70 behind my girlfriends dad for 130miles up the M1/A1.

That was measuring litres/miles working it out as well so accurate.

My old bike used to do around 55mpg. Full to the brim until flashy light about 155 - 160 miles, so to bone dry, 200 could be possible. I haven't tried this one yet, so I have yet to see
