    I remember that stretch you had mentioned where you locked your speed to 114kmph. The average should've fallen quite a bit then?
    Not on that stretch. When I go steady, even at higher speeds, I still maintain close to 45kmpl. However, the average drops a lot when I do Cross or Trail riding when I accelerate hard around corners on 2nd and ride mostly on 3rd at 7K rpm on gravel! Then the mileage drops to less than 35kmpl!
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

      I have a feeling the other way. I somehow feel that my bike performs better than other FI's .
      I was shocked to see when my bike did a wheelie when i shifted from 1st gear to 2nd on the redline .
      Coming to mileage, I get steady mileage no matter how i drive. The variation is hardly 2-3 kms.

      It is taller geared and the power surge after 7K is definitely noticeable. But also noticeable is the difference in speedo readout between the two.
      Finally i have a few bikes to giveme company with more speedo error.
