Gas Mileage - sure someone asked before

Can't speak for the 1198 but my light comes on at 260K. I've gone 330K on a tank before so I'm pretty sure the light is hugely erring on the side of caution.
 
The tank is not as large as advertised. The fuel pump takes up internal volume. Ive run out of gas a couple of times and maximum ive ever pumped is just over 3 gallons. With microtec ecu and slip ons i get about a max of 80-90 miles before the light and somewhere between 15 and 20 miles on reserve before bike runs out of gas. The maximum mpg ive gotten on the bike was 35-36 mpg. Plenty of people have run out of gas on these bikes. Try a search for more feedback.
 
just filled up earlier on the way to work. Light on at 69 miles and pour in 2.56 gallon @ $8.50. I never top $10.00 so far.

If you care...

My Sportcity 250 goes 160 miles on 1.2 gallon
Gixxer600 goes 160 on 3.8 gallon
Vstar Classic 120 on 3 gallon
 
Ran out of gas at 103 miles one time and it only took 3.2 gallons. Then another time I got 126 miles and took the same 3.2 gallons. I guess the 103 mile tank I was a little throttle happy.
