These are both very subjective, as a lot depends upon your riding style, average road speed, and modifications to the fuel system.
However, if it helps, I average 120 per tank, before reserve, so figure 60-62 miles per gallon, and 20-30 miles reserve. The bike is near stock, and I ride very aggressively, so you should do around the same, give or take 20 miles.
My average is 85 miles per week, commuting in the country, fill up requiring 1.4 to 1.8 gallons. Can't do he math, I'm too tired right now (11:10 PM local, been working outside most of the weekend).
