Fuel tank range.

The 3.7 gal tank at 50 mpg will get you 185 miles until pushing

The 4.6 gal tank at 50 mpg will get you 230 miles to pushing

Over 70 mph don't count on getting 50 mpg

Many of us have ridden all over the US which is a big country and I dont recall any members claiming they ran out of gas yet. I recently returned from 2-2000 mile trips without an issue.

Most guys start looking for gas between 120 and 140 miles. After a couple hours you are most likely want to get off the seat for awhile anyway lol
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply, much appreciated. I was not aware about the tank site....May I ask which model has the largar tank, they all look the same to me. 230 miles, sounds amazing fot a cb1100.

I was going from Phoenix to Death Valley and the stretch from Wickenburg to Kingman was terrible wind wise. Found a truck stop about 20 miles south of Kingman (now it's a typical stop until Henderson) to fill up. In this part of the States you are getting into areas where gas stops are very important as it may be 180+ miles to the next station.

Assuming they have gas.
Thanksca lot Rboe for your reply and feedback. Just waiting to hear from The Ferreira Re. which model has the largest tank amd I will get this one. Can't wait!!!
