I refuel every 130-150 miles. I don't think my fuel light works, either.

First week I had the bike I ran out of fuel on the freeway. Luckily, a CHP officer that has a love for Ducatis ran and got me a half gallon of gas to get to a station.
Now that's a SOLID!

My M750 I've had no trouble going 20 miles. However, I was starting to get worried at that point. Seems around 20-25 is about all that is recommended.

You guys disappoint me today. Not as one of you has yet said
"Depends on how far from the gas station you are"

20 ish miles is max for me, found that out early on the hard way.
Well i was able to coast almost 2 miles to a station.
I'm usually good to around 150 miles before my light comes on, 10-15 more if on a long ride.

Out of gas on the freeway is FUN! Got 20 miles, 2 miles from where I was gonna fill up.
Now I'm around 110 miles city driving, 150 (max) freeway, before I fill up.

Happened to me on Tuesday this week. Light came on on way to work. i was running late so i figured I'd get it on the way home. it was 17 miles after it came on steady when it cut off, as I was turning into gas station.
YAY ME!!!!

The ST2 has a generous 6 liters left when the fuel light comes on, which is going to bite me in the ass one of these days; twice I've pushed it well over 40 miles, both times riding two up, and over mountain passes with a couple thousand feet of climbing - once up from near Bagdad, AZ to home in Prescott and another time between the Grand Canyon South Rim & Flagstaff. Both times I mis-estimated how fast the last quarter tank (actually the last quarter before the reserve) would go, and found myself with the nearest gas 40+ miles in one direction and way, way more in the other.

Fixed it. Ran out of gas 3 times on my 11 mile commute. plus I ride when it is cold, which wrecks anything resembling gas mileage.

I feel pretty comfortable up to the first 20miles. After that, I start worrying.
