now that i have tuned my system properly, i think i can go way over 140 on a tank. I fueled up today at 110 and i think i had a full gallon left in her. i fueled up 3.6 gallons. I ran out of gas at 86 miles before i tuned the bike though, if you aren't getting around 30, then you have a problem and you need to clean the carbs or adjust the fuel mixture.

add another 30 minutes for eating the entire day (very optimistic)= 2 hours of stops

13 hours-2 hours stops =11 hrs

985miles/11 hrs=89.5mph avg

90mph avg. steady throttle on a VTR won't net 100/tank but if you did for 11 hours straight, well you rock dude!
Ok, that was impressive and creative!
