Fuel range on a Curvy?

Just wondering whats the average fuel range for a full tank on a curvy model with fairing?
How far you get on a run before filling up either on motorway trips or varied road trips will do.

Oh and how many miles can you get when the fuel light comes on?

I was running about 130 miles to fuel light and you can do at least 20 more (never explored the absolute limit of that last).

Cheers

hmm that dont sound too bad.
I am going to see how far I can get out of mine this week. Will be taking a small bottle with some fuel in so I dont get stuck !!

I get about 180-190 to a tank, i start getting worried when the reserve isn't on by 170, but it hasn't run out yet, the only time i ran out was after 195miles. Thats normally 90ish on motorways for most of it. On bendier roads i start to worry about 150.

Wow that sounds even better. Anything around 150 will do.
I cant remember what size in litres the tank is?

I think it's 18L

when i first got it i could only get only 120 out of i but now i'm riding not like an IL4 it does far better

This has been covered rather a lot, a pretty big variation as some commute in cities, some only ride for fun, and some cruise on A roads.

Curvy (99-02) - 16L capacity, reserve light comes on after using around 13L, goes solid after using around 14.5L
Pointy (03+) - 17L capacity, reserve light stages vary by year but are somewhere near the above.

I generally get around 165miles before the light starts flashing

Jeez-louise! That's an efficient machine! Wait... 90ish miles or km? I usually cruise around 85mi. Do I need a serious tune-up?
