You irresponsible lunatic
Don't forget the pictures of you sat by the side of the road when you run out of petrol!

God what a bunch of bull shit..... There is a bunch of arguing over tank size or what ever on a bike not even out...... and as-if you can influence it. You guys need to find something else to argue about.
Where is my coat.

I4s are great IMHO yet some folk consider 'em bland.
Mahoosive twins get slagged if they don't fuel like I4s
Go figure.

The range of the LC is around 230 (without modifying the fill neck). I've never gotten less than 220 from a tank, even riding it hard. You should be able to get back to 250 by modifying the neck.

The range of your LC may be 230 miles on the roads you ride at the speeds you ride, but mine's around 180-200 miles on the roads I ride in the north of England.
The wide open roads of the south west States, for example, gave a range of around 300 miles on the RT I rented in 2012, but mine did around 250 miles back home as it wasn't ridden on a constant throttle opening at 75mph as the US one was.
Apart from motorway stints I always get better range from my LC hooning round the Alps, Black Forest, Harz etc than I do round Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire etc by probably 20 miles! Must be going down all those mountains.......
Phew, the 14 litre tank bike made it for 320 miles.
Fuel light comes on at about 100 miles (10 litres) or after roughly two hours of riding. A painless fill-up and carry on. One of the fill-ups coincided (on purpose) with lunch.
No luggage of any sort was needed, it only being a day out.

Hiya, Tom. What brings you to the keyboard?

FWIW, my mileage in New England is a lot of commuting, stop and go traffic, day rides on back roads averaging 40 mph or so, very little cruising at 75 mph (I hate freeways). Its also using the craptastic ethanol fuel that the gov't foists on us year-round these days. Also for comparison, my spark plugs were very light-colored at the 12k mile service, bike runs fairly lean compared to my previous Ducati.
