Mate it all depends on how spirited you are riding. I have had the fuel light come on at 90 miles before, but generally it doesn't rear its ugly head until somewhere between 110-120 miles.
On a motorway at a steady 80 i've gone 130+ before the light comes on.
Either way when the light comes on I fill up pretty much straight away and can only fit 14 litres in the beast. I once did 30 miles with the light on constant and was starting to sweat. When i filled her up i still only managed to get 15 .5 litres in it. I reckon on a motorway i could go 170 miles between fill ups. On my favourite country roads it would be 140miles between fills.

The fuel light is really a pain, I when with Jaquese-nasi on the poison rally this weekend and filled up 4 times, he has the 2002 model and only filled up 2 times.I average about 120-140 Km per tank then the fuel light comes on and I refill and he gets 260 Km per tank.
That is just unfair :rant
Think my fuel light might be faulty
