So, in a lot of instances, I was able to cover around 250-280km before the urge to look for the nearest fuel pump kicked in. Taking this into account, I was getting around 24-26kmpl, and the low-fuel light kicked in at around the 4-litre mark.

Most of them activate right at around 60mph (around 96kmph). A perfect example to this is the retractable spoilers in cars. This is because the wind resistance at speeds above 100kmph is much higher than what it is at 80kmph. Physics taught us that the difference in fuel efficiency at 80kmph and 110-115kmph is quite substantial, especially when the motorcycle’s engine is a small capacity one. This coupled with the massive 20-litre fuel tank meant I could cover about over 300km easily on a tankful.Ī flip-side of having a potent engine is that I invariably ended up maintaining a much higher cruising speed, and that consumes a lot more fuel. I used to get around 35kmpl on the highway, riding at a steady speed of 80kmph on my Thunderbird.
