How much fuel range actually needed?
Hi folks,
I am planing a long trip on my bike (hopefully end up rtw) I will be heading from UK to Mosco, Kaz', Mongolia, China,Laos,Thailand etc. down to Aus then ride and work in Aus.
I'm currently trying to pick a bike (got a xt600 but fancy a CCM 644!) for the trip and I see lots of people fitting huge 25L+ tanks for over 250 miles range. I am curious what range do those of you who have actually do this (or similar trips) actually find you needed?? And How far off main highways/routes did you go?
I would really appreciate people view/thoughts on this as I have seen people doing these sort of trips on things from c90 to big bmws with standard tanks up to massive 30 odd L tanks! obviously I don't want to carry more fuel (and weight) than I need to like wise neither do I want to spend £500+ on a tank I don't need as that could be a extra £500's fuel  But neither do I want to be pushing the bike or hitching a lift because I ran out of fuel
Cheers
Ben
