I would call the Hawk tank rating "optimistic." But it seems to be about half a gallon bigger than the TT250. I did a range test on my Hawk and filled it up full and rode it 202 miles before filling it back up with 3.32 gallons.

I have a fuel tracking app on my phone to suit my OCD lol. My Hawk averaged 63.4 mpg the last 3 months up until I had to put it away. Personal best of 71.6, and worst of 49.

If I made it to 150 miles on the tank Id be praying to find the next closest gas station.

I dunno... Maybe it's my obsessive nature in regards to carb tuning. I can't really blame it on taller gearing, because I know you have a rear wheel with road tires with a smaller rear sprocket on it too. I do know that around town I consistently can run at least 170 miles before my gauge hits that last fuel bar and the light starts flashing.

Could also be my riding habits I guess.
