Agreed, I can go anything from 90 to a tank to 160 depending on how I ride...
Tend to get about 120 mostly, If petrol money is an issue its certainly a good way of stringing it out |

My SV 1000 did 148 miles on a tank yesterday and the light was still flashing. That was on the A38, and motorway to Hull. It hardly dropped below 100mph either

when i ran the sv 650s i usually got about 120 -130 till the light came on. My new gsf650s has 20 litre tank and a fuel gauge so perhaps it may do more.
best time to ride - when England are playing and roads are clear. |

Im sorry for saying but who cares how much you get to a tank of fuel...the bikes about having fun, and still ruteuns more than the average car....saying that lowest i ever got was 90 to a tank running huge jets and needles clipped wrong. i get 120 miles on average to a tank and thats definitly not being genlte on my 10 mile commute.

![]() ![]() ![]() 200miles!!! no way, you are p**s taking... I realized abut the huge difference the last sunday... I went to Canterbury with a friend on a bandit (and his girlfriend making us take it easy) and I did 130 miles before the light went off!! I think that the last time I did such a mileage from a tank was .... when I was doing the running in of the engine? average for commuting in London from full tank to first sight of the light is 90-95... not smart, not great, but fun!!! If I had to go always on economic mode on trips out of town I would get a car!! at least I could smoke and move stuff around... sad but true. ![]() |

Question about fuels... Anyone bother with anything other than bog standard unleaded? Do any of the 'ultimates' or 'plus' fuels make a difference?
