TOG@toil [email][/email] scribbled on the back of a napkin: [QUOTE] I was wondering about this. I tend to keep my bikes fully fuelled up, and I've got a couple of gallons in cans, for the lawnmower and strimmer (which strimmeth not these days, and I CBA to strip the engine). So: Trophy, 26 litres; Duke, 18 litres; GPZ550, 18 litres; 400 Four 14 litres; Benly - actually, that's about half full, so 5 litres; CB125S 7 litres. DT50MX - 3 or 4 litres. No idea how much is in the T-bird. Coo, if my garage ever catches fire it'll ignite half of Sutton. But the problem is that I don't possess a bike capable of doing SW London - EOSM - SW London on a tankful. I can stretch the Trophy to 200 miles, and with a gallon can in each panier that means maybe 280 miles.... Nope. Not enough. Hmm...... GPz550? I can get 60mpg out of that, cruising it. So well over 200 miles, say 320 with the gallon cans. Possible. CB125S? 100-odd mpg, 150 miles on a tankful: put two gallon cans on the back. That'd do it, just. Might take a while, though. Might be four wheels, but the Silver Tuddy will probably be down to half-full come the weekend. If the lemmings suck the pumps dry, that won't make it either. I know - I'll pinch The Doctor's Micra, and refuel it later from the bikes, if I have to. Job's a good'un. Out of curiosity, does anyone know of a bike with a fuel range to exceed the old 1100 Pan European? I got 300 miles out of one of those, once.[/QUOTE] R1150GSA (with the big tank) - 300 miles out of a tankful as opposed to about 250 on the ST1100 Pan.
