I have the early model, says the tank can take 18.5 litres. I can get close to that without having run dry, 17.9 the most I put in once. Touring, solo, full panniers and top box. Gets 280-290 km if I leave it that long. I normally fill up around 250-270. Just seems to be when everyone else is stopping or where a logical gas station is. Rare in NZ to have a stretch longer than that without a fuel station on the route.

Burt Munro 2014 - VFR Beach Racer

Saw this at the beach racing. He came 7th against KTM and Kawasaki dirt bikes. Uber cool if you are into old VFRs. It is a 1988 with a GPZ front wheel, otherwise pretty stock, albeit minus some gear. -

000. First stop, South of Taupo
LoopRider commented on LoopRider's gallery image in Member's Gallery
Thanks Parksey, a great article, I have not done all the "almosts" of the author but he is spot on. The Lindis Pass for example .... "The blat out of Omarama took me through the imposing Lindis Range along the very twisty Interstate 8, cutting through the towering rockscape like a black snake, twisting back on itself, dropping down, climbing up, all in second and third gear." Whilst it is rare to see Hobbits, you will always find a good road! -
