Think I once did nearly 130.
Have done more than 20 after the last bar started flashing.

125 miles and on the last bar, no flashing though.

Dont like risking it so always fuel up on 1 bar as in theory I'm still good for another 20+ miles which is enough to get me to work and back.

“Whats the FURTHEST youve gone on one tank?” I can’t say I know the answer to that. I suppose I could say I’ve made no progress beyond filling the tank with gas. When it’s empty, I just go back and refill the same tank with more gas.

If your question was “What’s the FARTHEST you’ve gone on one tank?” I would say 122 miles. Though I’m rarely more than a mile from a gas station, I’m always impatient to refill so I can check gas mileage. I’ve never seen the bars blink.

by you you
Is that 122 miles from where you filled the bike or the mileage you gained from the tank?

Hope you haven't confused gone and travelled....

130's the max for me before I chicken out and get fuel.

Good point. I don't think I've ridden farther than about 35 miles from home.

125 uk miles before chickening out, as others have said, pushing is like too much exercise (not to say the least, the embarressment of people watching you push the PCX!!)

Conservatively everyone should be getting at least around 90 mpg. At that rate, you should be able to go about 145 miles on a 1.6 gal. tank of fuel.

I have only gone about 130 myself before refueling. When the last bar flashes, I'm looking to fill up. But I love putting gas in though. It brings a smile to my face every time I see how little it costs.

I usually don't get anywhere near that, typically I get 80 mpg (US).

I don't, its a p.i.t.a. having to do it every second day and I wish the tank was much bigger.

The max has been about 220 km, normally I fill up at about 200 km, I don't like the bar blinking at me :)

230 kms. And I have a feeling that I could have gone a bit farther, but not much.
