on a 600 ninja my friend filled up the tank all the way with about $8 (about 3 gallons), drove about 160 miles before the low fuel light turned on.

It all depends on how you ride it. I never had very good gas mileage on my bikes.

I get about 220-230 mile out of a tank and about 180 if I'm hammering on it. That 5.5 gal on a Hayabusa

Could have found a better deal but it's pretty much what I wanted and I was having an impulse buy kinda day. Gave $4900 for it. 22K miles. Found one the same year with 12k miles for the same price but I didn't want to drive that far. Rode it this evening and it'll work for now..nothing wrong with it that I can find.
