I think you can count on between 70 and 100 extra miles per fill with the tank. I have not really had the bike long enough to have a good handle on the fuel mileage. It varies quite a bit.
We did not have to stretch our range on this trip.The longest stretch was about 170 miles.
I did stop several times with 80-90 miles on the bike and the stock tank was still full.

The Adventure Tank has earned the Bigdon Seal of Approval ! Whatever that is worth ?

BMW's F800 GS I rode to a 3rd place finish in the GS Trophy Qualifier. Hope to ride them some more in South America at the Finals. After slogging my way around all weekend on the 1200 this little 800 is a blast to ride, super light and peppy. Just gotta remember to keep those revs up.
