Sounds about right to me. I only get that when I ride like a gentleman. Unfortunately the tigger is not really suited for gentlemen, so I get 140 - 150 at best and your figures when I'm dragging the missus about on her 125.
My silly b*gger light comes on way early. Generally it's a good indicator that I have at least half a tank left.

7 Stone? That's only one third of a normal tiger rider...
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Har! I'm just figuring mine out too. Ran myself out of gas about 20km from the nearest gas station! had to lean her over about 4 times to drain every drop into the carbs. managed to make it to a campsite where I was able to beg a couple of litres from the caretaker. I wont make that mistake again!! :thumbsup
