I will confuse you guys a bit, I have an 09-1200L - my light comes on right around the 200 -225 km mark every time. I fill up and it takes 10-11 litres. I always get 19-21 km/litre, I think that is fairly close to 50 miles per gallon?
I have an 06 1200 c an i seldom get under 50 mpg. I recently made a trip to chicago mostly back roads and mountain twisties there and interstate back. I averaged between 51 and 55 mpg.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I will try RATROD HOG's suggestion and report back. It's my first bike and I don't know what to expect. This is an awesome forum, I'm glad I found y'all.
now this weekend run that baby out on highway 65 + burn that whole tank out,will only get about 110 or 120 miles before reserve kicks in.
do your home work at pump and let us know what you get (MPG)

welcome to the forum. My '05 1200C is always right on 44mpg. a little over 1/2 freeway@ 73mph. You should see mid-upper 40's when you get outa town. Your 4.5 gal tank should get 150 miles to reserve.

On my trip saturday I ran about 55mpg. It was some open roads and some freeway riding at 75 or so. I have had it run between 47 and 57 depending on my riding and how much city riding i am doing. Unfortunately my roadie has me looking for a gas station around 120 miles just to be safe. It was a welcome relief to only get two gallons into it last time though :-)
