if you get under 150 MILES per tank... then fuck it... that tank is too small for my type of riding... I hate having to stop every damn hour and a half. and hate to always have to plan where i'm gonna be so I can stop and get gas...

the 1125R has a 5gal tank and should get mid 40's according to some people with the new fueling fixes... so that's 200 miles per tank...
The 9's and 12's get better mileage than the 1125's. I regularly get 45-50MPG on my 12 and I'm not gentle. I'm also a big bastard on a heavy bike.

I usually get 160-170 miles before the reserve light comes on. I then have another 25-30 miles before the tank's dry.

The 1125 gets low 40's now with the new fuelling.

It ain't a Super Chicken tank that's for sure.
