I'll often get 120 until the light comes on. I've had 160 with the reserve showing --!!. Not a nice place to be. This will of course result in me being called an "fanny" on the road.
TBH - after 100 miles I'm ready to get off so will just need to look for fuel then. It will still have 40 miles left "just in case" so should not be an issue.
I think the original RSV4 was almost out of fuel come 80 miles. I remember Performance Bikes just left it in the back of the van when they took a few bikes to the Alps to test them.
just that 140 miles is more than I've ever managed out of a tank! I do agree that seeing a fuel light at less than 100 miles is unpractical on a road bike. I guess it's all down to superbikes becoming more and more focused and the need to keep up with the competition on the top trumps figures. The S1000RR has always been impressive at how well it can do both road and track and had a huge following because of it.
