To be honest, I have never owned a vehicle (cage or motorcycle) where the fuel gauge was linear.

Some were worse than others. Some gauges stuck on "F" forever, while others stayed on "F" for about 10 kms and dropped quickly to "E" and stayed there for 250 kms.

There is no excuse. Just design laziness.

Technology has existed for a long time already (e.g. past 15+ years) to better audit fluid levels of toxic and dangerous liquids. With the addition of knowing the squirt rate of the injectors, manufacturers have the available means to follow down the emptying fuel tank more precisely. They just don't want to, or they are unable to justify perhaps the extra cost of doing so because they won't get the value back from the potential purchaser.

As in most all bikes, different volumes at different intervals..

Regarding better fuel status: Honda business doesn't want to invest to make it better than good enough. There is no return on the value.

Compared to the DCT, there is excellent market return value.

It is pretty lazy on Honda's part.

(yep)

My V85TT goes to "E" at just less than half a tank. Tank is 23L.
