Hornet 600 - Range from a full tank?

[Key67]

Anyone out there with a Hornet 600 care to share what sort of range I can expect from a full tank of petrol?

Fairly new to bikes and am missing my fuel gauge!

TIA

Carry some spare fuel and ride until it runs out! Or find out the fuel capacity in gallons and times that by the estimated mpg.

If you scroll down slightly there's some information on the mpg and tank range.

Thanks for the replies guys - SteveH, that is one good link! Everything you need to know about the Hornet is there!

However, 75 miles before reserve and 35mpg? Is this about average for a modern 600?

It's pretty poor to be honest.

I get approximately 130ish miles out of my TT600 before the reserve light appears.

The Hornet is well known for it's poor range but you don't buy a Hornet for it economy. I think the average is 35 / 38mpg and a range of around 170ish

I usually get about 90-100 before i have to go on reserve, and get abotu 20 miles from reserve, this is on a 2001 hornet, and i hoss it most of the time.

I havn't found the resurve tap yet, havnt looked either.
I had 107miles on the clock the other day and it stalled aproching a junction, shock the tank a bit and went and filled up. Took 10L to fill.
I normaly fill it up when it hits 100miles, takes about 8-9L.

Thanks for all the replies! I'm going to tank her up and run her to reserve and then post what I range I get! (Without taking into account the reserve).

75 miles seems poor and the Hornet does appear to be renowned for a poor range but if I can manage 90 then i'll be chuffed!

Keep us informed - I have been seriously thinking about getting a hornet so I would be very interested to see the results you get.

Hello All - just reporting in on the range of my Hornet! Sorry it's taken a few days! I have run it to reserve - (twice just to make sure).

The bike is a 1998 Hornet and the only mod I know of it having is the Micron can that came with it.

First run - 105miles
Second run - 104.7miles

The style of riding and journeys varied - commuting, a couple of rides out and a few short runs too.

Well chuffed!
