I am looking to tour on the Tracer next year and reckon I may be able to squeeze 200 miles out of it |
Sorry AL, I've never really kept a close eye on fuel consumption figures. I tend to fill up on the early side rather than risk running out somewhere. The Fazer has about a 22l tank, and I have squeezed 200 miles from it before, but that's riding like a nun! But even then, I don't think the low fuel light came on.
No, if I'm in unfamiliar territory away from towns and cities, I just tend to fill up anywhere past the halfway mark on the gauge, unless I'm riding with others. I would suggest not getting in a position where you have to squeeze out every last drop if you can avoid it! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I used to focus on tank range, had a BMW K1200 GT that did 293 miles full to empty. I now have an FJR which will do 270 to a tank but my bladder gets full before the tank is empty these days so it's less of a concern. ____________________ Yamaha FJR 1300 Normanton West Yorkshire |

I don't really pay much attention to fuel consumption on the FJR. I think the trip average was around 43mpg. I got close to 60mpg in 2016 when France had fuel shortages but it was mind numbingly boring riding .
Tyre consumption is my big concern |

If you're going to travel along the eastern coast of the Pyrénées, make sure to take time to take pictures or go sightseeing: these places are magnificent! I remember spending a week there https://tranio.com/france/adt/1543483/rent/ last May, and I had to take stops regularly just for that. |
