Fuel Economy & Range?

I've heard about 125 miles, which would be similar to the Monster 796 with it's similar sized tank. I would hope for slightly better MPGs, with 12 less HP, but it's producing more torque at a lower RPM so it's still burning plenty of fuel throughout the rev range.
To me, this is the biggest negative about the bike, as well as the previous generation Monster.

Range 280 km or 175 miles
There has been a couple of official pictures of the LCD instrument showing a range of 280 km. Assuming a full tank, this is what the computer predicts.
Maybe not so in real life.
280 range = 20,7 km per liter
175 range = 49 MPG us

280 km seems like a fine range to me. That is a pretty long while that you can ride before having to refill your gas again. Nothing to be upset about.

It's actually better than I had dared to hope for!!!
I'm pleased. Very pleased!
Especially for a more casual bike, this range is definitely acceptable.
MCN show the range to be 154 miles would I would be very happy with.

MCN also show an average MPG of 52. Meaning they calculate the 154 miles range as usable range with a 0.6 gallon (2,3 liter) reserve. Even better. The computer calculated range indication should make up for the missing fuel gauge. And there's a fuel low light.
Youre so right. I didnt spot the UK gallons making the conversion.

Warning light comes on at about 120 miles apparently. MCN are quoting 55mpg (UK), in their test in this weeks paper.

I've done around 210 freezing cold miles so far up here in Northumberland (England), I calculated that I am getting around 56 mpg (UK). The low fuel warning light comes on when the tank gets down to 4 litres (1US gallon or 0.88 UK gallon) at that point the display starts counting upward the miles/kilometres you have travelled since you reached the low fuel warning.
154 mile range would be about right as I wouldn't dare trying to see if it could get to 163 (55mpg x 2.97 UK gal)

My first tank
The dealer said that the bike should have a full tank of fuel when I picked it up. I wanted to see how far it would go, so I've held off of filling her up. Today the light came on at 120 miles. It should be borne in mind that I'm running her in, so not exceeding 6000 rpm. However, I've always found in the past that bikes give better economy as they loosen up a bit. Also, while the dealer clearly had filled it up, I doubt that they had got the very last drop they could in, like I would if I knew I was doing a long trip. It seems pretty acceptable to me - I struggled to get more than 110 from full to fuel light on my FZ1 unless I was riding in slow company.
