    So would love to know what others get from a full tank on a new blade.

    Reason, away next week and I have not taken enough notice of how many miles the blade will do on a full tank

    thinking a steady 80-90 on french roads. What could I expect? hoping for 150? What you have you lot got out of a tank when your not ragging it?

    cheers in advance:high5:

    I think that would be about right, I did 140ish from a tank coming back from silverstone to Exeter which pissed on my brothers 999s.......hench the reason for him putting a deposit down for a new blade!!!

    All depends on how I'm riding . Riding hard it doesn't seem to last long at all but roughly keeping to the speed limits i must be getting 120- 140 same as above

    Also as i'm going with 2 guys , 1 in a lotus and another in a VX220. they will have 250 plus tank ranges. OK I got to slow down for them But don't want to run out of fuel

    Too be honest I have no idea, and I dont really care, I just love riding the thing as hard as I can/dare, whatever I get to the gallon is worth every penny.

    I'm sure you'll be ok when your off on your Jollies Remal, just be wary, its hard to get fuel on Sundays in france !!

    with a mix of touring speed (100 or thereabouts) with periods of fast(er) stuff you should see about 155 miles to cough, cough, bleurgh - empty....
    I set my trip to zero on a ride out and look for fuel at the 110 - 120 mile mark...

    Bit late I know, but I've got 164 miles out of my 'uber frugal' 08 blade, before the light came on. Motorway 'cruising' speed + antics with a 911 turbo + kriega luggage.

    Forgot to add, last week went to see the family who were away last week. On the way home fuel light come on with 20 miles to go. Forgot my wallet so could not fill up. Need to add fuel later before my trip and the trip has 153 miles since my last fill up. Under how much further I could managed. Just hope it's more than 500 years to the petrol station.
