Depends upon my riding style for that tank of gas but typically my light will come on around 140-145 miles

my light comes on around 135 (140 if I fill it up to the very bottom of the filler neck on the center stand instead of on the side stand) and I've stretched it as far as 170 before it's started to sputter.

Mileage wise the ZedX is capable of 180 but the furthest i have stretched it is 177 and i was getting nervous. The 1125R should go that far but gets worse mileage with a bigger tank and I have never pushed it past 140 or so. That will change when I go riding more this summer I am sure.

I voted 101 - 150 but I'm not sure of the actual number but the wife (R6) and I (R1) typically fill up at around the 120 mile mark.

I'm around the 140 Mark Usually to the Tee...Depends on How much gas I squeeze in there and How hard I ride the Bitch

If I'm out riding hard and using all the torque frequently the light comes on at around 125-130 miles...it would run out of gas completely by 150 miles or so.

If I'm riding over the road and cruising at a constant speed the light comes on at about 150 miles...it would probably run out at around 180 miles maybe?

I prefer not to ride with the "shit, I'm I gonna wind up walking or pushing" feeling so I usually have my next fuel stop in mind prior to the light coming on. The 109-R has a fuel gauge but I judge fuel level by the trip-meter for the most part.

With my stock tank, my light would come on about 85 miles and I'd fill up before it hit 100. Now with a little larger tank, I'll start looking for a gas station about 120 miles. How far will it go 'til it quits? I dunno . . . 150 maybe, but I'm not planning on finding out

My chopper was 100 miles and look for a gas station. So I luv the ultras big tank and better mpg.

I can't convert in my head and I'm too lazy to look it up.

I get around 250 km.
