RE: Fuel tank range. - Wisedrum - 08-23-2022
It depends on where, when and how you ride. My 2013 CB has an average fuel consumption of 4,5l/100km over 72.000km. I don't push the Honda hard but ride commode and relaxt. In summer I can ride up to 300km before I fill the tank again. In winter I'm looking for new gasoline after 250km to be on the safe side.

or
if you ride constant 100km/h you will need with the 6gearbox round 4l/100km....

When the reserve light starts blinking I know I've used 10 litres of fuel. I divide the distance I've travelled since I filled up by 10 and then multiply by 4 which tells me how many kilometres I have left to run.

This is the summary of the fuel consumption for my RS for its first 5000 miles...
Total distance: 4993ml / 8034km
Total fuel: 85.35 imp gals / 387.51 litres
Avge rate: 58.69 mpg / 20.82 km/l
Best rate: 69.7 mpg / 24.7 km/l
Worst rate: 46.5 mpg / 16.9 km/l
Avge run dry range: 217ml / 350km
Best run dry range: 258ml / 415km
Worst run dry range: 172ml / 284km
...this was done on the crowded roads of the UK's south coast, so primarily A and B roads with little that could be called 'highway' riding.
I did, once, manage to get to the point where the 'reserve countdown' said I had 26 miles range left and I had 184 showing on the trip.

In London town I reckon maybe get about 5.4 L/100 kms.
What size is your tank?
I reckon worse mileage in a city.
My average fuel consumption over nearly 140,000 kms is 5.3L / 100kms. That’s touring and city riding. I plan on 220-230 kms between drinks when touring with the original 14.6 litre tank.
My '14 CB1100 average riding style concurs with these figures.

Hello Recife79. My bike is a 2014 Deluxe. About 50% of my riding is with a passenger. I ride mostly on two-lane back roads, but with about 25% of my riding on freeways. I tend to keep to the the speed limits; my freeway speeds are normally in the 70 - 75 mph range. I have kept an accurate record of my mileage since I have owned this bike, and I have 30,000 miles of data collected. Here are my results:
Average MPG = 47.17
Average range between fill-ups = 153.83
Farthest distance ever between fill-ups = 201
I don't wait until the last drop is in the tank between fill-ups, and the the 201 mile range I achieved that one time was riding very conservatively (slow), and the low fuel warning light had been blinking for about 30+ miles.
Hope this helps.

Note the CB1100 has petrol tanks ranging from 14.6l to 16.8l so consumption might be similar across the board but range won't.

Thanks Tev, your input is appreciated.
