Hey Jonesy, the only way to see how far, drain the tank using the 'On' position. Then add exactly 1 gallon. Have someone follow with extra gas. Punch the odometer, head out and run'er dry! Then flip the petcock to Reserve. Then, notice the miles and keep on going till it starts cutting out. Your friend has gas fore bike and you now exactly how far per gallon. . . And, ya know how far the Reserve will take ya.
Cool, huh? Its not mine, somebody told me. Enjoy! It's like a science experiment!

I agree, however, you may want to do it more than once, cause depending on WHERE you got the gas, it can sometimes make a difference in the mileage. I had to find that out the hard way...

I can go about 200 miles on my new bike. Thinking about carrying an extra gallon or half gallon somehow. Gonna be loaded with luggage so not quite sure yet...... Anyone carry extra fuel?
