I think it depends a lot on what kind of driving you do. I use mine mainly as a commuter and don't drive at high RPM constantly. I easily got 250 miles on a tank.

Yeah it all depends on your driving conditions. I have seen as little as 140 in town and as much as 250 out on long rides. if you gun it from stop light to stop light commuting every-day just plan on burning more gas.

On the highway I usually fill up around 140 to be safe but I've done 170... around town is around 3/4 of that.... I know it's low, but I do weigh more than the average bear

How much does everyone's tank hold? I ran out the other day and got 4.17 gallons in. My reserve switch doesn't work, so i run out kinda often.

You can get a pretty cheap petcock for that bike at www.hondapeninsula.com. They have MF of any part you would need (hopefully, sometimes Honda doesn't have them anymore), but the petcock was like $30 for the assembly, strainer, o-ring, etc.
