I have no idea, haven't kept track this tank. Its on breakin anyways though, so I'm intentionally flooring it once warmed and varying my RPMs all over the place.
Once I get to the 500 mile point on breakin, I'll start recording.
I did notice on our carving cruise this morning though that the Kawasaki 1000 and Honda 954 I was riding with went all the way to fumes, and I still had a little under half a tank of fuel left, so I skipped the tank up. They were riding much faster than I was, and I have a much much bigger gas thank though, so that may not mean much, heh.
Oh, and my Strom has acquired the loving name, "
The Tractor", yay!
Edit: I have a TOOOON of farkles on the way though, including a much needed California Scientific shield and madstad infinitely adjustable bracket, to reduce the buffeting I get w/ the craptastic stock shield.
Should have all this installed next week, and will post pics:
1) Stebel Air Horn w/ Pat Walsh bracket... HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!!!!!
2) GIPro Gear Indicator w/ TRE
3) OEM Suzuki GSXR 16T Sprocket (makes the gears taller for low-rpm cruising)
4) Dual PIAA H4s HO lights
5) Givi E52 w/ admorelighting.com superbright LED turn/brake signal lighting kit
6) HT Engine Guard and skidplate
7) Madstad bracket
8) Buell Ulyses blinkers
9) Murphy Fork brace
10) MadStad bracket:

11) Acerbis guards
12) Audiovox cruise control
13) Frame matching aerosol to paint exhaust cover.
14) Butt beads from beadrider.com
I'm also looking for another DL650 exhaust takeoff to use the shield and chrome tip to put onto a black ABS tube on the "empty" left side for a little hidden extra storage compartment, so if you come across a used one cheap hit me a PM!!!
It'll look like this (that second exhaust is FAKE btw, and the cap is on a spring loaded hinge w/ a locked compartment behind it... nifty, eh):
