    why cant a 390 single make 35+ on a controlled highway run.

    another thing i see is that it shows FE figures as per the current situation so if he is riding on highway with controlled speed
    it might be showing 38 however with mixed riding city+highway and diffrent riding habits it might settle down somewhere to
    29-33..

    most of the N650 owners quoted FE between 27-30.. that being a 650 though a long stroke motor still able to manage it.
    i am sure a single 250 cc less will be able to make decent figures.. after all bajaj never gave a fuel guzzler.
    agreed
    but considering the way test bikes are abused the millage figure is in the pic is still strange . May be this test piece is only for mileage test under normal riding conditions.

    Btw, noticed the pics above, where did the end bar weights go? and the orange frame, and the orange wheels. But this could be just for testing, so no point in coloring the same :P
    I was referring to duke 390 (india) website as well. I can see the ABS discs in the 360 view.

    We were riding 80-90+, he was ahead of us.The Mileage figure on our bikes(All duke 200) was 43-46 and i got 39kmpl(tankfull method).So expecting a real life mileage of 25 in city and 30-35 on highways on 390.And that 60+ would be downhill for sure.It even shows 90+ on a long slope, bike in neutral.

    Yes.Check the head.oil filler cap placement and you will know.

    The test rider said, kuch oil ka hai, mujhe bhi pata nahi itna.No idea bro, im just your regular biker who happened to see the duke and snapped it.

    I have very little knowledge of o2 sensors, but isn't a lack of o2 sensor a good thing? I was told it's used only to comply with emission norms and actually has a small negative impact on performance AND fuel economy? Can someone explain?

    Interesting find there. But I don't think they will want the headache of having different ecus for export and local models.

    60 is freakishly high and in believe able. But 38 is a believe able figure... if the Ninja 650 can give 30+ during running in... why can't this little fella :-)

    That was probably some experiment to extract the maximum kmpl so that they can scream loud on the print ads! This kind of setup on a highway riding just adds up to this conviction!!!

    Maybe they are running test of some sort!?!? If they have removed the O2 sensor feedback from the 390 that is a considerable step down I'd say

    One question to you, do you remember the series of those metzeler tyres ? was it M3, M5 or something else.

    Seeing the pics i am guessing it is Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact, which is an addition to the cost of the bike.
    Alas, i didnt see m3 or m5.The guy was in hurry obviously so managed whatever i could.
