How much does our tank hold when right full to the top?

How much fuel did it take ? 

Didn't check, but the countdown mileage had stopped and it was just flashing low fuel all the time. Not sure how much further it would have gone? Probably miles from the next garage!
XJ600, VFR800, CBR1100, Varadero1000, CBR1100, STX1300, GTR1400 ?

Once you see Low Fuel you have 40-ish miles left. :banana:

Miss the Pan ST1300's 29 litre range, beats me why they design a good touring bike and stick a small tank on it  :no:

Form over function. Image is everything apparently.

Small tank? I think it's big enough.. I don't want to ride 230 miles without stopping for a break and fuel.

Most I've done in one hit is 180 miles/3 hours, and I my joints and bum were hurting like a bitch. I was glad to get off..

Agree totally, I always have a break after an hour or so to stretch the legs, recharge the concentration / caffeine. It would just be nice to be able to go another hour without starting to watch the fuel gauge and thinking where the next garage is  :whistling:

I don't have that problem.. My TomTom Sat Nav app on my phone tells me when each petrol station is coming up..  :banana:
