I've always wondered about the limited fuel capacity on machines like this. This one only holds two gallons, with an "extend range" three gallon tank in the works. That seems awfully limiting to me.
I occasionally ride with a guy who rides a Husaberg 570. In stock configuration, it holds less than two gallons of gas. He added a second tank, raising capacity to something still under three gallons. I have an Acerbis tank on my XR650L that holds 5.8 gallons...
Range is a constant issue when riding with him. We rode out on our Olympic Peninsula this last fall, which has some fairly remote areas to explore. He simply did not have the range to make it between gas stations a few times, and we wound up draining gas out of my bike so he could. A friend of his was riding a KTM 450 with the same problem. Thank God for my Big Red Pig "tanker", which saved the day for both of them a few times too many.
