Hello all,
I recently completed my first Saddle Sore 1000 (on a HD Road King) and am a new member here.
Now that I have caught the bug , I am planning my first 50CC Quest. I needed a reliable motorcycle (my HD now has 40,000 miles on it) and therefore bought a new 2021 BMW K1600 GTL, primarily for my LD rides.
As I am planning my 50CC Quest, I am wondering how much range does the K1600 GTL really give on a full tank of gas (stock tank has 7.1 gallon capacity). The literature/forums seem to say 40-45 miles/gallon, which would be 280-315 miles on a full tank. But I am wondering if that is realistic at highway speeds(say 85 miles per hour). What has been your experience with the highway riding for all your IB rides on this bike? What range should I realistically expect on a full tank? I don't want to install any auxillary fuel tank.
Thank you for your help/insights.
Regards,
Ani.
