Your doing well to get 160 miles out a tank! Sorry, no idea how much fuel is left after the light comes on.

If you get 160 to the light, you've got an absolute maximum of another 40 miles before you're dry (the way you ride - you old granny ) safest to fill up within 20 maybe 30 miles though

Buggeration...better get my SV looked at then, or stop hooning it everywhere. Don't think I've ever seen more than 125 before the light's come on and that's with M-way cruising. A-road/B-road rideouts see me with the light on anywhere from 105-110, hope that's not too far below par or something might be wrong

Nothing wrong with 125.
90 is hard riding

<-- i r clearly one of these
I tend to commute in relatively heavy traffic and don't get to hoon it that often. My comute is also characterised by some decent twistys that rewards smooth and fast but not lunaticly quick riding; plenty of "almost knee down" if you like.
