I've never gotten lower than 42mpg's...regardless of how hard I ride. I'm usually 45 to 50mpgs. And I RARELY use 5th gear.

As for range...it's not much. I've got a 3.7 gallon tank. My light comes on consistently around 120 miles. At that point I'm supposed to have .7 gallons left. My fill ups show I've got more like a gallon. So...I could easily get 150 out of the tank.

Is it a ton of miles, no. But I like to stop frequently and stand up, walk around. I get uncomfortable on long stretches.
