The R1200R I sold to buy the CB would take 5 gallons on fill-up. The gas light would start flashing around 240, and I'd gas up at 250. That is, when the gas gauge wasn't flipping out. The tank looked cartoonishly bulged out when you looked at the bike square-on from the front, but it blended nicely at any other angle.
That was nice and convenient, but by the time I bought the CB, I had returned to a commute that put a gas station in front of me when I got off the freeway near home, so going back to a bike with 150 range wasn't a bother. That's the same range I get with my Bonneville.
