Finally decided to pull out the bike on the easter weekend to a trip tot the golden temple. Rode with a Bullet 500 and FZ16. Boy it is tough i could have done it in a breeze on my 220 but on the SBK the thighs hurt and fatigue does set in after riding a bit. Also going slow ~100 is painful on the bike it is just revving to go. so i would zip off and the stop and wait :) .
the fireblade is a mileage king what can i say ride the bike on 6th gear lean on the tank keep speed in the 95-98 Kph and voilà - you get 25 kmpl..and that too with ordinary fuel laced with Wayne 10+octane booster added in the ratio of 10 ml for ever 1liter of 91 octane fuel - the bike performs rather well.
Whats more the road from Beas to Amritsar is so great i zipped on 2hd gear till i hit the speed limiter at 205 kph!!!!!!
here is what else i learned it is easier on the body to ride at 130-150 with the body up the wind actually lifts you up reducing the load on your arms and thighs.
i am yet to upload the pics will do so soon.
