so what kinda kmpl do you manage on these kinda trips like this one was 1800 Km.
and how was the availabilty of the fuel needed specific to the R1
Me too, I am waiting for a 500 or a 600 touring machine to come our way.

About the mileage, I consume about 6L to a 100 kms; ie, 16km/L.

About the fuel bit, if you check the IMP note at the end... it really did not matter at the end of the day the kind of fuel I used. Unlike the 2006 which pinged, this one does not!

Point noted. Will try that, as you said... next time!
