On the ZX-11, I've hit 258 miles but I've never gotten to the point where the tank was empty.
Usually I'd hit the gas station at 190 miles which is around the time I need to take a stretch\pee break.

CBR's range is a bit shorter, though I haven't been tracking mileage between fillups yet

About 400 miles with this supertanker. Have never needed the range but it is kinda nice going on a 250+ mile ride and not have to stop for fuel along the way.

A downside? When this puppy's fuel tank is full don't get it leaning far to the side with your boot on a gravel surface sloping away. :eek: Did this while tilting the bike over between the legs for a better book photo. Boot started slipping down the right side slope, the bike heavily and quickly started falling towards the side of the slipping boot. I threw the camera (a sacrificial act), grabbed the bars, the boot caught traction (very fortunately), and saved/righted with serious grunt force what could have been a nasty accident. :eek:

Same here. Doesn't matter if I'm redlining every shift or if I'm puttering around. 180-190kms the light comes on, then I start looking for gas quickly.

The pic was from the Brown's Park National Wildlife Refuge in a extreme NW Colorado. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid would hide out here. Seriously remote and lonely. Was told the NWR here is loaded with moose, elk, bear, mountain lion. That's the Green River on its way to the Dinosaur National Monument, and a few miles away this pic was taken as the Green enters the Monument at the stunning Gates of Lodore. The raft in the image was one of three on their way into the Monument for a three day trip of whitewater and riverside camping. Dang.

160 of em are about 100 of your miles. 60 of your miles are about 100 of them.

With the last reflash my low fuel light went from 120 miles to 150ish.
The Drummer helped a bit more. :dthumb:
