well, I found out exactly how far I can go on a tank yesterday... 168 miles. Had to coast in to the gas station. Still had reserve, but I had enough momentum to coast the last few hundred feet to the pump...

 

So how much fuel did it take? Around 3.5 gallons? Just curious to know how much reserve you have. Mine's an '07 Low, so the only way I can get brave enough to test my range is have a gallon of fuel strapped onto the luggage rack!

3.65 gallons

 

Doin some spirited ridin? that's 46.02 mpg. o/l's 1200R has the 4.5 tank installed on it with a Mikuni carb and S/E cams and usually gets around 49-50 in most types of ridin.[sm=escape.gif]

 

Last fall the wife and I were out looking at the colors and missed a gas stop. She went 152 miles on a tank with her nightster. When I filled it up it took 3.2 gallons. 47.5 mpg I figured. Man was I startin to sweat as the miles racked up

 

I was stroking pretty good on the back roads - 85 - 90 mph. Was a beautiful warm day and I was enjoying the hell out of it! [8D]

 

Last Saturday rode from Twin falls Id. to Challis then to Stanley and back to Twin. I put gas in in Mackay id and rode 186.7 mi. around to Bellevue. Light camo on at 181 mi took 3.03 Gals in Bellevue. 61.6 mpg

 

I have a 2007 883c

 

seems like the 883 gets much better gas mileage than the 1200

 

Wifes 883 she used to ride would get better than 60 mpg at times when riding in the mountains.[sm=escape.gif]
