A mint 2001 with only 10k on the clock.
Does anyone know or have a rough idea of how many miles to the tank?

Most get mpg in the mid 50s:

Not sure on the tank size but even a small tank should then see you to 150+.

No mention of useful gang rape meet ups for like minded chaps though. Wink (but at 52 BHP they would all be late anyway. Laughing )

I must admit that if I was going for Gayness, id want much more than 800cc! I think one of the big thundering 1800/1900cc Yam or Suzuki things with as much heavy uneccassary shit removed and big open pipes could be a level of Gay that I could if required stoop to and accept given enough drugs and alcohol!

I have a 2007 800 Intruder, which is the same basic engine but in a slightly different style and with a shaft drive.

My tank is pathetically small, one of my main gripes with the bike, I think it holds about 12 litres including reserve. It's pretty good on juice though, usually averages about 60mpg although I've had it up to around 67 when taking it easy.

I can usually get approx 125-135 miles from full to reserve depending how I'm riding, not sure how much reserve is as I don't usually let it get that low! Generally I start looking for petrol round about the 100-mile mark.

I would expect you to get about the same mpg, but I think your tank is bigger than mine - well I know it's definitely wider!
