I dont remember how big the tank was, but it would go about 60-70 miles before flipping to reserve. One thing to consider; the husky 450 and 510 and other “race” bikes are very very maintenance intensive. 500 mile oil changes, 1000 mile valve adjustments, 10k mile rebuilds. If you’re looking for one as a daily rider get a DRZ 400. They are heavier and lack A LOT of power compared to a husky 450 or 510, but require maintenance more like a car.

500 mile oil changes and 1000 mile valve adjustments!!?? Why are they so maintenance intensive?
