Touratech 41 lt tank.

Your not wrong
I was in Spain and Portugal this summer and the difference in fuel prices was huge, I could have filled up in Spain and toured Portugal without the need to fill up again.
Yes there is little economy to be had and in Andorra too but at what price for the convenience?
BTW there is a used one with some dings in Germany for the tidy sum of @€980.... sheesh!
IMHO X-tank gives a total of 19 litres so reasonable range in EU anyways.
For beyond, you could always have a 3, 6 or 20 litre Desert Fox fuel bag which weigh very little empty for when it becomes necessary to extend your range.

I was very lucky, I picked up this one local to me and less than half the price of that one you spotted.
I was looking for a GSA tank as I think that’s probably the sweet spot especially when the filler neck mod is done but they seem to be getting very expensive if you can find a good one and without damage and dings galore.
Ran the first tank down over the last while with a good mix of different riding and plenty of cold starts so not the most fuel efficient mpg and would probably be a lot better in typical touring mode. Did 400 miles and filled up to the bottom of the filler neck ( not max) with 37 litres, so still another few litres left in the tank. Must run it dry for this next tank and see what the max range is but probably somewhere from 420 to 450 miles.

Noted, thx
Happy enough to now fill up around the 400 mile mark and know there’s a still a few litres left for emergencies.
