It started cutting out on the highway when the trip odometer read ~177. It felt like it had dropped out of gear. I didn’t realize I was running out of gas for another half mile or so, and I managed to get it all the way to this gas station, sputtering all the way.
It is not pushable, I’d have been walking for a gas can.

That’s why I was glad to only have a 650cc. That was exhausting, with mostly flat roads. I can’t imagine how much effort a >1L bike would be. Walking for gas seems likely.
I have had to push it very short distances. I have had to pick it up off the ground. It’s over 800lbs. After having ridden this for a while, I sat on my buddy’s GS650 and it felt like a moped.
I also have a 40 year old 125cc scooter that is equally as fun to rip around on. That one only “runs out of gas” when the vacuum hose falls off the petcock.
Most of my pushing was hill starts on an unintended basketcase of a bike, lol. Though I have certainly run out just before the pump, though not that close!
Oof. Cutting it close more skillfully than myself. Last time that happened to me, I had to push my 650cc about 2 miles.
