From my experience, the trip meter is a very reliable "fuel meter". However,
I wouldn't switch my fuel cocks to reserve permanently and blindly trust the
trip. I have an RD04, which has low level indicators, and together with the
trip meter it's almost as good as a fuel meter (but only almost :-) ).

My old Aprilia Tuareg 600 actually had both a fuel meter and the usual
reserv setting on the fuel cock. The latter was overkill, so I parked it
permantly on "reserve".
