I start looking around 140. I really don't know how far I can go since I've never stretched it. I've got a 4.5 gallon tank. Every time I fill I've put no more than 3.8 gallons in the tank but I really don't want to find out the "drop dead" mileage...

210-240, depends on what I am doing, I could probably shrink it into the high 100s if all I did was gap miles.

Nominally 205. But I've been as high as 215-220 I think. I don't like doing that though- like Marko said, borrowed time.

Depends upon my riding style for that tank of gas but typically my light will come on around 140-145 miles

my light comes on around 135 (140 if I fill it up to the very bottom of the filler neck on the center stand instead of on the side stand) and I've stretched it as far as 170 before it's started to sputter.

Mileage wise the ZedX is capable of 180 but the furthest i have stretched it is 177 and i was getting nervous. The 1125R should go that far but gets worse mileage with a bigger tank and I have never pushed it past 140 or so. That will change when I go riding more this summer I am sure.

With the last reflash my low fuel light went from 120 miles to 150ish.
The Drummer helped a bit more.
