Default Avg miles for full has tank?

I have a 03 shadow spirit 750, no has gauge and wondering if I can get about 200miles on a full tank? Assuming not going crazy on bike or passing more than 65mph for long period of time. Thk

If I'm riding about 120 km/h on the highway, I get about 200 kms before sputtering over to the reserve, which I think will give me about another 100 kms. If I drive at about 105, I get considerably better mileage!

I have an 03 Shadow 750 Spirit and I ran out of gas at 115 miles. Hand calculated, that works out to be 50 miles per gallon. From now on, I set the trip odo and fill back up at every 100 miles on the clock.

my 03 Spirit will be on the side of the road at 200 miles and you will have been walking for a long time.If I ride the Highway (80-85) I hit reserve at 115 and if I am riding in the Hills I can eek out 160 before hitting reserve but that is alot of No throttle downhills
