990 Endurance?
So come on you guys of the orange persuasion.. what mileage are you getting out of a tank(s) of fuel?
I always felt it was the downside to the bike, I was told that ~140 miles is normal. What're you guys getting?

160 to a tank on a regular basis.
Downside is tank size,22l, it would be nice if the big Aqualine tanks would appear at christmas. 45l yeah baby..Hell of a bike though.  .

Re: 990 Endurance?
Cie,
How are you? S'been a long time! I've found it depends hugely on how you ride the thing, anything from 120-ish slightly shall we say irresponsible miles to almost 180 miles one time when I had nowhere to go and all day to get there! I have to agree with Stan, it really is one hell of a bike!! -Simon

Re: 990 Endurance?
My fuel light comes on at about 130 miles , but I can only squeeze in about 14 - 15 litres if I refuel at that point. The range must be about 180 - 190 miles for my normal riding style.
I just refuel about every 150 miles , time for a coffee and a leg stretch about then anyway !!
