Gas Tank Capacity
What's the capacity of they Hypermotard? I'm coming off a BMW K1200R and I have it narrowed down to an Aprilia Tuono Factory, KTM Super Duke and last, but not least, the Hypermotard. I like the Hypermotard the best, but if the range isn't sufficient then I'll have to pass and go with the Aprilia or the KTM.

11.5 liters, I think. It's pretty small.

WOW Just a gnat's ass over 3 Gal.! Considering most would , no doubt, at the least install the exhaust/filter kit, that puts mpg at approx. 35. 105 miles per tank, hmmmm I could deal with that happily. The fuel light on my S1K comes on at 95-105 miles during everyday riding. Neither were meant for touring, and the Hyper was, I believe, built as nothing but a fun little ripper of a hooligan (how do you say hooligan in Italian  ) bike. Just my opinionated .02

I think that will be a deal killer for me. 3 Gal just won't cut it.

Where did you get that number? I'm still waiting to see any kind of production specs for the HM anywhere...

It's listed on the HyperMotard page, at Ducati.com. Tech specs, lower right of the page, I believe.

If your riding-style on the HyperMotard wouldn't deviate from your S1K style, JohnyC, expect the fuel light to come on at 73-81 miles (your range multiplied by the ratio of the fuel tank capacities).
Be glad you don't have a MH900e with stock tank .... your range would be 65-72 miles  I have upgraded the tank on mine and now, I can carry almost 5 gallons, courtesy Ca Cycleworks / Chris Kelley

Todays price of $899 is a bit higher than the introductory offer. For more info, visit http://ca-cycleworks.com/shop/catalog/mh_tank.html

But that's the riding-style this sexy beast is made for. Tearin' up the sticky Buns! Good God, I wish I had the do-re-me, to add one to my stable.
