Did 300 miles on motorway recently.
Got around 240miles a tank just before hitting reserve and was cruising at 80-85 MPH (Keeping up with flow of trafic I might add ).

I was fully loaded with the missus and camping kit, tent, sleeping bags etc etc and I found that I had plenty of grunt left to overtake without dropping a gear and also found that the ten wasn't screaming at me.

I also have high front fender and did not experience any overheating.

I was actually supprised at how well it did!!

Hope that helps ya.

Cheers
