Re: 400 Mile Machines... Whats your bikes record?
I got 1000kms out of my Ford C Max 1.6 Tdi when driving up from southern France a few years back. Does that count? If it doesn't, can't beat 230 miles on two wheels I'm afraid.

240 coming coasting down out of the high Andes on fumes.

And no. BMW have never released the findings of their technical report into his death and the 1200 'header shaker'.......

I've got a potential range of 280 miles and have seen 240+ out of 12 litres on my XR125l, though it would take a lot longer to get there

Got 213 miles out of my old 1200 Multistrada which I thought was good going from a 150bhp bike. Plus it was saying 13 miles left in the tank. Might have managed 250 if I took it really easy.

Never fill my xt660z until its done 300 plus miles on a tank to work and back. Used the fuel app in the past but not bothered now.
