A Question About Bikes With Low Mileage - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

hardcorebiker · 10-27-2010, 07:57 PM

Well I have always been wondering how the heck do the guys manage the mileage of the superbikes or consider pulsar 220 or upcoming bike CBR 250 (25 mileage)

I mean to say isnt it too less.?

I have people saying that I dont care about mileage all i need is performance.

But beta if You have to go an fill up your tank every third day then whats the fun?

How Do They Manage their less mileage?

How much minimum budget is required for a mileage 25 to 30?

Well, mileage have two aspects: One is the monetary and the other is the range of the bike.

I guess you are talking about the monetary aspect here, so lets talk about that.

Do you really think the guy spending lakhs of rupees for a bike will be bothered about the mileage? You cannot best of both worlds; either you go for performance or you go for fuel economy.

Very seldom people use these bikes for long rides or daily commutes. Mostly superbikes are used for a quick weekend ride or as a stress-buster in the middle of the week. So, tankfuls usually can last more than you expect. And considering the fun these bikes give, its just a small price to pay. The more you care for your bike, the more you fall in love with it.
