Gas milage of a 2005 VRSCSE CVO VROD

Awhile back I had someone enquiring on the gas milage of the 2005 Harley-Davidson VRSCSE CVO VROD with the stock 3.7 gallon tank. Firstly even thou it's 3.7 there's less usable fuel because the fuel sending unit takes up space inside the tank and the pick up for the fuel doesn't allow every drop to be scavenged. (making it approximately 3.4 gallons of usable fuel or 12.8704 liters)
I was able to get 165.4 kilometers (102.8 miles) on a mountain highway doing the posted speed limits, the fuel warning light came on at 60 kilometers remaining and the red lights on the fuel gauge display do not change colour when being low as someone asked. Keep in mind elevation changes and altitude can be a factor in this example.
As you can see in the picture the gauge reads a 1/4 tank left, how accurate that is, I'm not sure but that was as far as I was willing to push my luck. Remember the fuel keeps the fuel pump cool inside the tank so repeatedly running it low can shorten the lifespan of it.
