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!!.

Wow, well there you go. 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. :lol  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 ?

Ha ha!! Yes i was bricking it mate, no i didn't stop and just kept praying, them last ten miles or so seem to take forever, i put my excellent fuel consumption down to steady hungover and very tired riding due to long day in the saddle then straight to pub the previous day, Ah the joys of riding to the top of Scotland forra boozy evening then riding back next day. Never again!!.
