Moto- use whatever gas your M.O.M. tells you to. using gas thats higher octane than what you need (unles you are knocking) will not increase performance, in fact it will probably decrease it.

Top of tank to dangerously low, which was about 130 miles on my Maxim. Little over 3 gallon tank with 45 mpg and a fear that this may just be the last gas station for the next 60 miles.

on a long trip, i normally ride from fill-up to fill-up (180 or so miles), then i sit for a little bit somewhere close (gas stations aren't the greatest places to hang out). maybe i'm a little over-cautious, but i'd rather relax for a half hour and hit the road much more alert than i would be if i kept on going.

If riding a long haul, solo. I will go from fill up to fill up without stopping. My Goldwing could go about 300 miles on one tank. I would normally fill up between the 250 and 275 mark. Plus at the gas stop I would rest for usually 20 minutes, then be on my way again. When riding with the boss or a group, we tend to stop more frequently. Like every hour and a half to two hours tops.
Well, it's not really the same thing at all, but before my motorcycle I was riding a road bike (thats a bicycle) with one of those skinny jam-it-in-your-a** seats. So my bike (the motorcycle) feels pretty much like a rolls royce - at least the seat anyway.
well, without stopping at all, I've done 183mi. I really didn't want to find out how a fuel injected bike handles fuel starvation in a lean though, so I pulled into the next gas station for gas. The most I've done in a day of riding was 583mi last thursday from Ft. Benning, GA to Louisville, KY for my friend's wedding.
