oldgrump Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Well I get 140/150 miles on the SV1000, 17 litre tank, and around 185/200 on the Vfr800, 21 litre tank, And my mate had 2 R1's, a 98, which was his toy and don't think that ever saw more than 145/150 to a tank, better on the 05 R1. Remember 1 night in Wales on the 05 he got 50miles with the fuel light on, but we weren't travelling very fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianco2564 Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 @oldgrump I've done 26 miles on the reserve light and put in just under 14litres to brim it. The tank capacity is 18 litres so in theory I could do another 40 miles or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's those Welsh roads and chilled out riding I hardly touch the brakes on the twisties through Shropshire to the Elan valley on weekdays. Weekends are a different thing crazy tourists out on their day trips 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
