        No friend. They are accurate. I have observed lot of times.

              Then blade is best suited for touring, very relaxed rpm for a 160cc [emoji106][emoji106]

                Took it to 115Kmph today at 8.5k rpm

                7.5krpm - 89kmph- 4th gear

                6.5krpm - 55kmph - 3rd gear

                (Rpm maybe slightly different I was constantly looking for dogs/bulls on the road/NH24)

                  They're slightly off I guess, not a big deal. The speedometer has 4 segments for every 1000rpm, 80 comes up at around 5750rpm, 90 at around 6500 (+/-100). The remaining speeds are the same except 120+ (which I cannot verify as I've never seen those speeds).

                  Quite relaxed, even the gixxer had similar gearing.

                            Unicorn has 4 segments. X-Blade has got 3 segments.

                                You sure?



                                They both have 4 segments [MENTION=93559]addy@4814[/MENTION].

                                Nonetheless, I like the engine on the unicorn 160 and xblade. Very eager and tall geared.
