Thanks for all your comments on fuel economy & range. It really gave me some ball park figures to base my bike on.
The weather being superb, I ended up my bike for a 250 km trip today and in doing so tested the fuel consumption it gets. I covered motorways, freeways, twisty stuff and heavy traffic and when converted after filling up I got 20.63 km/l - 4.848 l/100 km - 58.27 mpg. I'm an extremely gentle rider on the throttle so that may have some bearing on these figures. I'm pretty pleased with the results and at least now I have an idea of the bikes touring range. 270 kms before I hit reserve then another 72 kms before I have to get off and push. Those results were based on running my America on Shell 98 octane V-Power.
