Ok 150 I am doing EDR this weekend and I need to judge how much fuel to carry.  125 miles between one of the stops.  I think 2 28oz power aid bottles and one 30 oz low brow fuel bottles will get it done.  Appreciate it.  My damn speedo is off so haven't gps the range on mine

My K1 is about 110-120 miles to reserve. My K5 is closer to 130. I recall my previous CB750s (all early bikes, 71-72) being similar. I don't know how far reserve will get me, but I've gone about 30 miles into reserve a couple times before fueling. 150 miles should be a safe estimate. I wouldn't push much past that without carrying extra fuel or running yours out to know for sure.

The early K's have a 17 litre tank, the K8 19 litres so full 5 us gallons....
