I've had to add 3.0 gallons once. I think I was at 163 miles (not sure, but it sticks in my head).
I think what I would do is record how much gas I'm adding at 125 miles and then do a little math to get an estimate. I forget what the actual tank capacity is, but let's say it's 3.0 gallons and at 125 miles, it takes 2.0 gallons to fill it. That's about 63 mpg so you could go another 63 miles before you run dry. But then, if you're running at 80mph, that 3rd gallon is only going to get you maybe 40 more miles. Or if it's windy. Or if you're a big person. Or if you ride uphill both ways to work like my dad did. Point is, that your mileage may differ so the only way to know how far you can go is to make an estimate on your own bike.
