Is There Any Bike Out There That Can Give You 400+ km's On Tank Of Gas?

I ride a 650 V-Strom and routinely get about 400km/tank, though I ride it hard. In the winter, doing city only commuting, I have gone as low as 320km on one tank.
I rode it easy the other day on my way up to Wiarton and back and it reached 500km in one tank. First time in over 100,000km and I was shocked. I wonder what it could do if I rode it as gently as possible for one tank. I think that I could make it stretch to 550km on one tank riding it like that.

32L tank
Will give me 600 to 700 kms a tank when touring depending on the type of road.
In town over 500kms for commuting.

do you still have the 7s ? if you do you must be pushing the motor or something or something is up with your mileage. I routinely got 400km on that bike before switching to reserve
as for bikes that have more range, I have also a ST1300 with a 29L gas tank and routinely get 400-450km before the reserve light starts to blink. I have hit 500km once with the light blinking, filled it up and only put 27L into the tank.
I know a guy in US with Yamaha FZ6 (1st gen, 2006) who has 250K miles on it and counting. Mine is 2007 and nowhere near it but lots of folks of fz6 forums got well over 100K on theirs.

my 08 1000RR is doin something like 230km on about 13 L of gas when the light comes on with mixed city and highway. If I was on an 80km road nonstop it'll probably do over 300... It's the stop and go that eats gas. I think it burns around 5L/100 km at 120kph ... less if you go full tuck (variables as others have mentioned)
I never actually ran out but routinely do around 380km on my 2000 VFR800 and still have a couple of litres left. 21 litre tank I think.
So should be able to do about 420km before it runs out. I have to grab a small canister and test it.

I also for the first time hit 390km on 18L of fuel on my Ninja 250
Hmmm maybe i'm too throttle happy..
My '01 Nigthawk 750 will give me, on average (mix of city and highway), 350 kilometres before I go to reserve where there's at least another 30-40 km before I go dry... so almost 400 kilometres. If I were only doing highway and kept my rpms down, it can go beyond 400 kilometres before I go to reserve. 18.5 litre tank.

Same bike, I'm lucky to get 190. Got 243 this past Saturday before the light came on but that was a non-stop run.

Ahhhh I think i should def check out the carbs.. thanks!!
Specific question:
Other than a bit of weaving about (as Doc pointed out) this thread has mainly stuck to answering the question.
