busabeast Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago The busa would make that no problem, running at 80 in mode C I'll get near on 220 miles to the light then another 30 miles on the light, in mode A it would be touch and go though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think yes, at constant speed every 10mph has an impact if you're talking about the full tank range. The most I've ever done on my bike was 460 miles on the same tank, but that was on slow country roads. It could never achieve that on the motorway at constant 80mph.

Clive Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago My scoot travelling at 70mph would not make I think, it would be very close though.....it only has a 2.75 gallon tank. 179 mile ride would be amost 1 years riding for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have traveled states side on many occasions...and can tell you its actually dangerous riding at the posted speed limit...at 70 mph loris or transport trucks are blasting by you... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
