How often do motorcycle riders have to refuel?

Motorcycle riders have to refuel more often than car drivers. They need to stop for gas about every 90 miles, which is about once every two hours. This is because motorcycles get about twice the gas mileage of cars. So, if a rider is going on a long trip, they need to make sure they have enough gas to make it to their destination.

How can riders tell when their motorcycle is low on fuel?

In addition to the light on the dash, there are a few other ways riders can tell when their motorcycle is low on fuel. First, the bike will start to run less smoothly as the fuel level gets low. The engine will also make a slightly different sound when it's low on fuel. Finally, the bike will feel less powerful and will take longer to accelerate.
