Mine's a touring question really. I'm planning to go touring in August. The best I've got from my tank - who knows what the capacity of that is, about £9.50's basic unleaded max, I can ride for 118 miles before panicking about finding a petrol station.

Bearing in mind the riding will be steady in built up areas and balls out (obviously metaphoric in my case) in the twisty mountain bits ..

Ruth - I had something around 135 out of mine last year when we all got lost in Suffolk... but it really depends how you ride. I usually work on 100-120 for comfort...
