How Many Miles Can You go on a Full Tank of Gas?

In the summer if it's above 80 degrees on the highway I see about 180 to 190 degrees usually. Stop and go traffic, 30mph zone or if I'm close enough behind someone to be in their slip stream at any less than 45 mph and my bike will hit 225 degrees. One of the last rides I went on it never creeped above 185 but it was 50 degrees out. One of the times I stopped at a stop light then continued, the temp dropped to 165 once I hit 55 mph again. I gotta stress though if I'm not on a twisty road I usually shift around 5.5k rpms or less, might be why I get such good mileage.
Thanks for the clarification!

I sit on the bike in order to keep it upright when filling, brim the tank as much as is humanly possible and get a consistent 140-145 miles between filling and the reserve gauge coming on. When filling I then put somewhere in the region of 13.5-14 litres of fuel in to take it up to nearly spilling out again.
I only commute on mine, no fun/social riding.
