Yikes. :o
Would not like to drop the bike with that full.
Do you think it would be any good in the woods ? ;)

They've got even bigger ones along with add ons for your Dual Sport stuff.  There's these huge Safari tanks that combined with your regular tank can give you like 12 gallons.  Plus, they have a rear fender gas tank that wraps around the complete back of your bike with another 2 or 3 gallons.  You're basically riding a gas tank at that point.

Nice stuff!
I love a reasonable sized gas tank.

Mileage is very important to me.
But won't it be disturbing to the handling of the bike?
Of course it depends for the location and type of riding you do.

They have gasoline stabilizer they sell.  Some kind of foam that keeps the stuff from swashing around.  The placement of the weight will affect your riding but more so if you got a huge tank like that once it starts going down all the swashing around of the gas will affect you, but that foam stuff is supposed to help I guess.
