you cannot average 80 kmph buddy....trust me on that.You will need about 22-25 hours to reach bombay as you are riding solo.Reason being tht you will need to take atleast 2 breaks of about 2 hours each because of fatigue..Also it is advisable to take a 15 min break after every 150-200 kms.

Yes, even a distance of 50 kms from Pune to Lonavla can't be completed
in one hour (on old highway, on a bike), even you try to keep the speed
high. It's takes about one and a half hour without risking your life.
So the speed can't be maintained at 80 km/hr avg.
Since you are on a bike, be it even a high end bike, you still are
a lowly creature on the highways and truck people don't take you into
acccount. So you have to be very careful, that's why avg speed
can't be maintained at 80 km/hr without risking your life.
Even though the bike can average 80-90 easily, our road & traffic
conditions won't allow you to do that. Better take break at the night
at some hotel.
The map seems logical, though I am doubtful about the distance being 700
odd kms. These stops do come while you travel by train.

Yes techno, I agree it can be done, but it is a bit risky. The bike
can do it, but the roads at times don't permit, due to those trucks
and rash driving by lal dabbas (ST buses). Even I have done that
in just a little over an hour, but I felt it was risky.Comment

Hmmm .. ok maybe averaging 80kms/hr is not so possible thanks to the roads. Just striking up a conver. I did Bombay - Goa and back in the year 2002 on a Kawasaki 4S Champion.. and it was a great journey .. one of the best roads and i stopped after every hour cause my ass couldnt take the seat any more than an hour. switched off the engine .. had half a ciggi and then back again. Left at 4am and got to Baga at 8pm in the nite.. even though i was doing 60-80kms/hr, so u stand true prateekkual :-) Of course the truks and buses ****ed it up for me sometimes but oeverall the journey was cool and i look forward to one more loong ride soon.
AH not to forget .. LOVEMAX i love your attitude man .. but unfortunately doesnt work in the real world !!Comment

The last time i replied to someones post and it showed up somewhere else.. so dont blame me dude.. ASP sucks anyways. btw i like your observation

I hope you ride safe man... Dont take this personally man but rash street riding isnt something that one should be proud of.. Its a diff story if its late in the night and the roads are empty (Which I'm hoping is when you did this)If you wanna earn a medal, do something good instead of breaking the law... and in the unlikely situation that you do earn a medal for rash riding, keep your fingers crossed that when the president comes over, you'll atleast have a neck to hang it on...quote:Originally posted by Skullpture

I am riding safe man .. thanks for your concern, this really is rare!! I appreciate it. About rash riding i really do not indulge in this and wouldnt ask anyone too. Did this "feat" about a year back not to be repeated again. Night riding is safe but has its pros and cons too .. anyways i dont need no medal, was just kidding about that if you notice :-)
Thanks for your concern once again. Wish you happy riding!!

I'm glad you took it well and not offensively... I was half expecting a big retaliation post here... Anyway, This is going off topic so I'll stop being a grandfather here.. I'm glad you're riding safe.
Cheers!_____________________________
