Well, it's been 2-1/2 years since I was there, but my recollection is that there was plenty of fuel available. I usually like to fill up the Busa around 175, but I can push to 220 if I have to on the reserve, and I don't recall ever being in a position where I was sweating running out. If you can make 100 miles between gas stops, I'd say you'll be just fine. I've only had to invade my reserve against my will once, and that was in British Columbia. Leaving Prince George, BC heading for Calgary, I pushed 215 before I found a gas station that wasn't even on my GPS. This place was a little hole in the wall joint. It is pretty disconcerting when you're beyond the 50% range on the tank and the GPS says the closest fuel is where you just came from.

It's even more disconcerting when you only get about 110 miles before the reserve light comes on. That's my biggest fear about this whole trip. Even found a nice motorcycle theme B&B for $75 a night.. |

I didn't get a chance to do it before selling my R6. I need to get my shit together so I can get another bike and make that trip. I'm hoping to do it on a Yamaha Warrior.

In 2007 my father and I did a bike trip out to Newfoundland. We had planned on hitting up the Cabot Trail on the way back. Stayed in Baddeck but the weather got so bad it just wasn't worth it.
It was the ONLY input I had for the whole trip and it didn't even happen. I'll definitely be going back one day! |
