Most motorcycles don't have fuel gauges.
Most riders reset the trip meter when they fill up, and know pretty accurately how far the get out of a tank.
My ~20 year old Ducati has a low fuel light, which used to come on at about 1/4 of a tank (you'd safely get 40-50km after it first came on), but that stopped working in about 2001 or so.
One of my Hondas has a fuel tap with "main" and "reserve". It's splutter a bit for around a km or so - and eventually stop if you don't switch from main to reserve in time. (And then one day it'll start spluttering and you'll go to turn it to reserve, and it'll already be there because you got distracted when you filled it up and forgot to put it back on main - that's one of the reasons why I always reset the trip meter every tie I fill any of my bikes...)
