                        this is pointless... a properly run in bike which is ridden @ 80kmph will obviously will return lesser mileage than a hard run in bike which is ridden @ 40kmph... plus there is tyre pressure, age of bike, kind of area, traffic, chain sprocket condition and all those maintenance stuff. :|


                        and i'm the only bike here with 50kmpl !! my average speed is 60kmph and i take perfect care of my bike !!!
