Approximately 120 miles off of 1 tank.

Gearing: 1 down in the front and 1 up in the back.

anywhere from 100-190 miles to the tank. Usually around 130-140.

Stock gearing

36 - 42 MPG. I have never went over 150 miles without gasing up. Idiot light turns on at random times, but always over 100 miles: anywhere from 110 to 140. Completely stock setup (stock can, stock gearing, stock chain, stock tire size)....

Why you asking? I hear the new 650 V-strom has a 5.5 gallon tank -- basically an SV engine, but parts to make it look like a V-strom. BMW's have great range.

about 150~160 before the light comes on, then a .9 gallon reserve. Getting about 40mpg, unless I'm revving too much...

-1 toof, +3 teef.

Yeah, it is possible. But V-Twins are not known for their fuel economy.
