    At speeds of 100 the bike feels at ease, no stress on d engine but as u try pushing forward it'll take some time to accelerate..
    Reached top speed of 129 yest on NH4...
    Congrats that is quite a lot of mile munching

      My mistake. That rpm range was for my ride duration, not for the top speed. That range for 90 - 110 roughly.

        Thank you
        That RPM was not for top speed
        I've ridden for 4.5 hours around 300 km wid short breaks for water etc. Haven't ridden for whole day continuously.

            If there is an FI Variant do we need to fuel it only the Power/Speed Petrol

              No sir. Just fill normal petrol from a reputed bunk.
              Speed/Power etc is only mandated for high compression ratio engines.
              Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                  Maybe 12 or above. A ninja 250r doesn't show any signs of distress despite running years on normal fuel. It has a CR of 11.6 so I'm sure our bikes would be fine too.
                  In fact, on a low CR vehicle, premium fuel can induce knocking like symptoms, reduced fuel efficiency figures, harshness etc.

                    I guess we had a discussion regarding the same few weeks back.. Many 600cc bikes too run perfectly normal with normal petrol like you mentioned..

                    BTW, when you say low CR vehicle.. what is the CR value to be considered low and high?

                      Well let's talk about ZMR. Or better, Suzuki Bandit 1200S. It has a CR of just 9.5:1 and runs great on normal fuel (91 RON or 89 Octane).
                      On the other hand, Daytona 675R has a CR of almost 12.9:1 and it *requires* premium fuel.

                      A Busa runs fine on normal fuel in the absence of premium fuel. It has 12.4:1 (still high though).

                      IMHO, vehicles with CR under 10.5:1 or even 11:1 need not use premium fuel at all. At least I haven't had any good experiences with them so far (ZMR v1 has CR of 9:1).

                      P.S - premium fuels don't always contain higher Octane, they just have additives. Exceptions - Speed 97 (97 RON), Shell Super or something (93 RON).

                              Talking about the exhaust note .
                              RTR always had unique bassy exhaust note.
                              Best 200cc exhaust?
                              RS200 it is.
                              It Roars.

                                A dealer told me that ABS indicator is present because of standardized supply of parts. According to him the base version won't have ABS, and it cannot be retrofitted either.
