my bike gets 120 miles to a tank MAX. We usually gas up and go. Louie needs to stretch more than me (RC51) 800 miles of twisties is a normal touring day for us - 5-6 back to back and no ill effects. I heart my Superhawk (just need an aux tank to get farther!).

For me it doesn't matter which bike I am on about every 90 minutes I need a break. But hey I am old.

About 100 miles... A bit longer if there's been a couple traffic lights where i can at least put my feet down and stretch out my hands and back.

unless there is something out of the ordinary I run it 'till the fuel light is on then stop for fuel and get ready to go again. I do 650 mile days on the CBR and other SS bikes that I had, pretty easily. Have to be creative in seating /standing though to stretch.
haven't taken any trips on the HD cruiser but past experience is that my days shorten considerably on a cruiser. |

I can easily run the 175-200 mile fuel range on the Busa with no trouble.
I can do 700 mile days for 2 weeks straight without any difficulty.

205 miles, then I get nervous about running out of gas. Did two stretches of this on the GS with no issue my first day with the bike.
I need a better seat and I probably would only have to stop to sleep. Thinking about getting a russell day long in the off season.

<----- See bike.. Never.
 As long I'm not hungry that is. Hunger wears me out pretty fast. I wish my gas tank were bigger!!

about 150-175. that's about when the fuel light comes on anyway so it works out quite well.

The busa is a great touring bike. I can go until the tank is empty(about 200miles) with only a sore ass, but that can be fixed with a gel seat.
