Hi - hope you are enjoying the bike. I have a R3 classic and I can go about 150 miles on a tank full [every time I fill up I zero the trip 1 on speedo]- no idea how many MPG

You can probably get anywhere from 24 to 42 mpg - and that is on the little gallons in the USA. There are a lot of variables, including altitude and attitude.

If it's pure touring mileage on an unmodified rocket, 180-200 should be possible. When the gasblight comes on I have about 1.25 gallons left before it's time to take a walk with a can.

Around town, in Honolulu traffic I get about 21mpg, but that's pure stop and go + significant traffic + me being a bit of a hoon. Freeway is a little over 40mpg, though, there literally isn't enough road here to do a full tank freeway lol.

Since new mine gets about 30 mpg commuting and about 40 mpg on the highway at 75 to 80 mph. Times 6 gallons will be between 180 and 240 miles to empty.

Be wary, from "ran out of gas empty" to full my roadster only took in 5.7 gallons, it's 6 gallon tank but a little is unusable.
