Re: Fuel Tank capacity and range...
Did 325 miles yesterday and just as I pulled into Tesco for fuel, the remaining range showed - - -. I can confirm that the bike didn't conk out and took just over 25 litres (quoted tank usable capacity) to fill it to the brim. For the record, this is a physical check of 58 mpg, the BC showed 60 mpg (always reads slightly higher).

Confirmed the above again, did 331 miles yesterday before the BC range was zero. After another mile, put 25.33 litres in to brim the tank. That's a physical check of 59.4 mpg, the BC showed 61.4 mpg.

Less than 1 mile from the fuel station, the fuel range was zero, the bike didn't stop and put 25.5 litres in a 25 litre tank.

Re: Fuel Tank capacity and range...
I have only just bought my 2007 RT. I took it to Wales, not realising the fuel gauge was having very strangely. I ran out of fuel in the fast lane of the M4. Luckily I managed to nurse it to a petrol station. 27 litres of fuel went in.
I'm using the trip from now on. Looking to refuel at 200 miles.
Amazing bike. 50mpg even with spirited riding. I was getting 65mpg at cruise.
