Hi All,
I am thinking of buying a Harley Nightster and am interested in the tank range, 12.5 isnt that much fuel.
Sometimes like eveyone, I like to go quick and other times just cruise at 50 - 60 mph.
So has anyone got an idea of tank range for mixed riding.
Thanks,
Jeff.

 

on a new nightster,the fuel light would come on at the 80 to 90 mile range,leaving a little over a gallon.as i put more miles on mine,gas mileage went up.i would'nt push it past 135 miles on a tank.

 

The light usually comes on between 100 and 110 miles for me now....that's betwen 40-45mpg....better than my truck at 13mpg...

 

never got an exact mpg but the light goes on at 90 to 100 miles down.
my ride style is mixed i do get on it here and there. i usally stop for gas shortly after the light goes on.

 

90 miles for me driving around the city before the light goes off.

 

yeah had my nightster since july this year ... i live in the city so i would say 80-90 miles the light comes on ... but this past holiday weekend i filled up and rode out into the country and i had gone 125 before light even came on ...

so yeah 3.? gallon tank ... i would say you get min 40 MPG ... max of like 55-60MP

great bike though ... i would highly reccommened a nicer seat and definately some front pegs for cruising ... in the city the standard pegs are cool cause u are shifting and breaking sooo much, but forward pegs even a evgine guard with pegs (i have) is ideal ... stretch out and roll !!!!

 

I ride all Highway everyday at 60-75ish. Lately I have been averaging 47mpg but my last tank was 48, it has been slowly going up since I got the bike.

 

I'm at just under 1300 miles on my '08 Nighster. Seems to be settling in now so that I am averaging 47 mpg, mostly commuting at average of 45 to 50 mph during the week. The tankful before last I got around 52 which was mostly 60mph average speed on a secondary highway. Light comes on around the 100 mile mark give or take a couple miles either way. Not quite as good as my '07 883 was, but WAY better than my 1997 Ford Ranger pickup, so no complaints !!!

 

Hi all,
Thanks very much for the replies.
Jeff.
