[Ducati] Question on fuel tanks and range between fillups

[John L. Bowman]

I get about 130-150 (depending on the type of riding) or so on a 2004 ST3
before the light comes on. Then I have about a gal left.

For my 1098s, the warning light comes on way too soon at approx 85 miles
(I've been watching) If I fill it just after the light comes on I can only
get about 2 gallons in it, but I hate having that light stare me in the
face. I've gone about 20 - 25 more miles before a fillup after the light
comes on.

  Given the notoriously inaccurate nature of the low-fuel warning light on
Ducati motorcycles, I was wondering what type of real-world range anyone has
gotten on the following:
ST3, 1098s, Monster S4rs
I get furstrated having the low fuel lights (or the gauge read low on the
ST3) come on at about 100 miles, yet the bikes only taking 2 gallons of gas,
implying we could have gone 200 miles. Of course, I don't want to carelessly
go 200 miles and run out of fuel.
So, what type of range has anyone gotten from these machines?
Thanks!
