If you mean how far on 1 gallon, anywhere from 40-50.

Even though my owner's manual says 4.5gallons, the most I've put in there is 3.8 (after flipping to reserve and practically pushing the bike to the gas station). Mileage depends on how hard you ride the bike. I get 40mpg/140mi per tank under normal riding, but last time at the track I had to fill up after 80 miles.

FJR takes 5.8 per the book but 5.5 max i ever got in it. gets about 40mpg or about 200-220 miles a tank.

the ninja250 gets around 60mpg with me flogging it (which is pretty much what you have to do to go faster than traffic)

exactly. f4i = 4.8

and not even close to a car... i think all civics(some of the smallest & most economical cars out there) are at least 11 gallons....

and i think the best i've got on my f4i is about 145 miles on a full tank .

I can hold 44 gallons and get 3.8 miles per gallon

Everyone start running toulene, it's actually cheaper to get 93 r+m/2 from 87 and toulene when 93 hits 2.37. So sad

My GSX-R600 just hit 165 today before the gas light started to flash. I couldn't believe it. Most I have gotten before was 145.

I did a 130mph run and rode it pretty hard, even though a lot of the miles were on the highway. I still can probably get 175-180 before the gas light goes solid. I dunno, maybe I overfilled the tank cause I topped it off 45 cents.

holy crap, you guys have some ridiculous gas prices in cali. Here i am bitching about premium gas at $2/gallon when u guys are paying 50cents more. Jees...i'm just not familiar with the gas station sign reading more than a buck for gas. Its usually $1.60-1.80 for premium here.

Here in Colorado it's around 2 dollars per gallon of premium. I was in las vegas last month though and their gas is almost 3 dollars per gallon!!
