How far can you go?

[Beeblebrox2nd]

I have an '01 Boxeye and am fairly comfortable with doing about 170-190 a tank.
My riding is 7.6 miles to work and back each day, pop the choke on (so that it revs to 2.3k at idle) for the first 3 quarters of a mile, then off it goes. The following (almost) 7 miles is motorway that blends back down to a dual carriageway, at a steady 75/80mph.
The warning light comes on after about 160miles and I know I can get another 20-30 miles depending on how delicate I am throttle-wise after that.
I use the RoadTrip app on my phone and average about 50mpg over a tank, but that doesn't take into account how steady/furious my riding can be. If I didn't go over 80 and rode for a long stint I'm pretty sure I'd touch 200miles a tank, but really, who has the time to worry about the intricies of all that.
I'm off on a biking holiday with my brother round Wales from Sat 26th for the week, so I'll record mileage for full days in the saddle and report back. See how much of a difference it is when I'm not just travelling for 7-8 miles at a time.

Foxeye MY03 in Red.
Done about 39k to date, 1 TPS down.
I fill it to the brim. I don't mind the extra time it takes to get it up to the top. But it does takes ages....


But I get 20l in regularly.


With that 20l I get 230-240 miles the light usually comes on just after 220. Then it's time to fill up but usually the following day.
Its either Morrisons or Shell unleaded and then sometimes over the summer I  treat the bike to Shell super unleaded.
Bring back 4*

Its false economy for me to fill up as a full tank of petrol weighs more than I do

You have a 22 litre tank though, so you've not taken it to the limit yet.

I don't know if there is any sludge in the bottom of the tank and don't wan that dragged into the fuel filter and the carbs.


I have on a few occasions put 21.5l in and on one occasion I thought I was going to have to push the bike on the way home from work to get to the petrol station.
