I recon you could almost hit 300 mile mark if you went to dry tank. Good luck with the test, and may the gods of boredom stay away from your door!
Yes I've done exactly 270 miles to a tank, didn't run out of fuel either but managed to get 20.95 litres back in tank on filling back up though so it was a very close call, by the way it wasn't a planned fuel/mileage test, it was an early sunday morning start ride home from the top of Scotland, misjudged my distances between fuel stations by a long way!!.
Looks like this is turning into a challenge.......might have a go.......iam at a disavantage in owning a silver fast bike and therefore not too good with the motion lotion but I'll give it ago........all being well will be out next weekend :)k

You are I think the current record holder. 270 miles to a tank. One for AyJay to wind up the boys on the VFR forum me thinks. Seriously though, you must have been bricking it towards the end. Did you stop to look in the tank, or did you just keep going and prayed ?
I must be too heavy handed as I'm averaging 170 miles to a tank Light comes on at around 155
Amount of fuel to fill it up..................22.55L
QuoteAmount of fuel to fill it up..................22.55LHow did you manage that with a 21litre tank?Yamaha were always pessimistic about their tank sizes. I used to get 22L in my Mk2 Boxeye tank, which was a nominal 21 on quite a regular basis.
Haha, I don't think so - my reserve light always comes on at 120, so you are far from heavy handed...
