Fit an Ivans jet kit & ride like a vicar on  his way to a sunday service ahould see you return 200 miles on a standard sized  tank.

You still have to fill the bugger, that must be expensive? I usually want to get off after i've used half the tank so by the time i'm nearly empty the little legs and the half size bladder usually win.


Good luck with our quest though?

That's a nice job and deffo would leave it to an expert very neat indeed, when I did Germany in may on my return I did 740 ish miles in one hit only stopping for fuel around 150-170 miles, my fuel light came on at 170 miles Im always happy to stretch my legs as racking up big miles is boring as still water and I feel you need frequent stops to stop brain drain.

Just stick a Gen2 17t front sprocket on for another 10 miles per tank
