Am Dinesh from Bangalore. I got this bike on 12th of July. I have done 2100 kms in this bike, .. I went to mysore and chennai.. apart from these trips, I use my bike for daily commuting 50 kms(up and down).. it is a really heavy bike. but once u get over it and start throttling, , it seems to be effortless. the suspension and seating position is very comfortable.. even after riding non-stop to Chennai (336kms) I was not feeling tired. the best part is that am the only one in my room without backache after using bike for long distances.
The acceleration, , (pickup) is really refreshing.. every time I sit in my bike, , I feel very relaxed and when u have so much of power in ur hands, , the only thing that u can do is just pity ur fellow bikers on the road. The average mileage I got on Bangalore traffice is 43 to 48kpl.. (48 kpl after adjusting the idling speed, but if u reduce the idling more, then the bike may stop suddenly when u try to throttle from rest)..
On highway, it returned an ideal 53 kpl... but, , please keep check on the air pressure (front-21psi, rear-25 psi)... coz, , I have experienced that not maintaining the air pressure hits ur mileage very badly for this heavy bike
