around 30 miles. If you decide to do a motorcycle, DON'T LET THE FRAME LIMIT YOUR BATTERY SIZE! You'll be just shooting yourself in the foot. Also, using Optimas (or another absorbed glass mat battery) means no battery acid flying around in case of an accident, and no need to water the batteries that are so tightly packed in the frame. Good luck!
