Is the reserve really that big??

Ok so I have been riding my 05 XTX for a couple weeks now and have fulled up a few times when the fuel light comes on.

Commuting or open road I am hardly gentle but am still getting 155 - 160km before the fuel light comes on. So I diligently go and full up and find I am only putting in 8.2 - 8.5L of gas.

Economy wise this is damn good compared to the R1 but after a quick search it seems I have a 15L tank!!!! does that mean I still have roughly another 120km before I am seriously running on fumes??

Just wondering how far I can push the "fuel trip" length if I need to.
