Depends how you ride.

Just stick some petrol in a bottle as backup, and go find out. Very Happy

How long is a piece of string?

If you hammer it along the road you will use up the fuel much faster or in the same case if you keep it in a low gear for long periods of time it will also go quickly, but if you can get it into the 5th/top gear at average revs or slightly lower revs at 40mph to 60mph then you're getting more fuel efficient. So, reset the mileage counter and see how many miles you get before having to go into reserve tank from a full tank because the reserve usually gives another 20 miles or so to help you reach a petrol station.

Expect 50-60 mpg (imperial). Work it out yourself.

Fill the tank, reset the trip milage, take some spare fuel and go find out. Unfortunately I dont think the RS has a manual reserve switch so you cant just run it till you have to switch. My GS125 would do 235 miles till I had to switch to reserve and that was ragging the tits off it.

I have a RS125, i get 200KM to reserve! this is not ragging it around much...

When i got it i ragged it whenever i could Very Happy (only when the engine was up to correct temp though)
I got 160KM to reserve on that tank!

I got the same milage on my 50cc derbi which had half the tank size (5litres to reserve) and i used to rag it all over the place!

I was expecting more milage to a tank for the RS but i didnt get it!
Oh well!
