Not sure how long of a range you want, but current gassers can get pretty good range with the right carb setup.
With the stock carb and stock jetting(read - waaaay too rich), I could go over 100km on the 10+ liter tank on my 2012 xc 250.
Now that I have an APT smart carb, the range is much longer, probably 120-130km, or longer if it's mostly 2 track and back roads. A bit less if it's all single track.
Not sure where you're riding, but no place in Southern ON, or NE US needs a range longer than that, especially if it's all single track- as you'll be out of gas when the bike is.
