The more important question is, how long does the fuel last when the light comes on? Anyone found out the hard way?

I did 23 miles yesterday after the light came on, I kept it below 85mph on the motorway.  This morning I started from cold and did just over 2 miles to fill up, it took 14.52 litres to the brim.  I think the tank holds 17 litres so I still had a bit of mileage left if needed. 

I did 118 miles on that tank, so that works out at around 37-ish to the gallon, meaning the tank range was 136, so I had another 18 miles in hand.  Which means the light came on at 93 miles, giving me 43 miles before I ran dry, phew!!  Compared with my old R1 this is crap, I can get an easy 50 mpg on a commute and it rarely drops below 40 when "making progress".
