I was expecting approx the same range per tank if I filled it the same. (that's why I use the same pump at the same gas station, faced the same way, drip in gas till almost reaches the top when using the side stand). On my other 2 wheeler after many many tanks of gas, I know no matter how I ride, when the gas warning light comes on and I fill within 5 miles or so, I am getting 75-77 mpg. So I know I can trust the gauge and the warning light when riding long distance. Nice. So now I can't trust my 450 tank of gas past 90 miles or so!
