Took it on a trip yesterday from Mumbai to Nashik and back. Total 355kms trip. Now total ODO is 575kms (in just 4 days!!)<\/p>\n
The ride was amazing. Went through the ghats of Vikramgad and Jawhar and this bike goes through those u bend turns effortlessly and it wants to curve. Even though i went with pillion it was bending the turns without giving you the feeling that it can’t take more.<\/p>\n
Mileage: I did a tank to tank and it gave me a mileage of 32kmpl. This is highway at 80kmph and ghats at 40kmph and City at 60kmph (60 & 80 were at 6th gear 40 at ghats were at 5th\/4th gear because there was too much incline)<\/p>\n
The fuel indicator went to no bars on my way back. So I quickly search for pump and filled it to the top. Only 10.84Ltrs went. This is because of the fuel pump. The sales person also told me that since this has a fuel pump make sure the fuel does go till empty as it will damage the pump (air getting caught). I think the company wants us to fill while it still has 2 ltrs in.<\/p>\n
The distance to empty doesn’t work well. I think it shows kms for current mileage instead of average.<\/p>\n
I had done PPF on 29th night and picked it up yesterday evening. Took Defender pro Tarantula Gloss 180micron with 5 year warranty at Rs.12k along with ceramic and plastic protection on other parts. Did it from Steam engine. They have shops in Virar, Naigaon & Miraroad incase someone wants to try it from them. Shaman Triumph told me 11k for just PPF from Garware with 3 year warranty.<\/p>\n
Will soon get this bike to 1,000kms (only about 400kms is remaining out of which 40mks is from my home to service center ) will get the service done and then see it’s performance and mileage.<\/p>\n
So far my take is that you can take this bike for long trips but only rider as the pillion will not be comfortable for over 2 hour trips. Maybe the quilted seat from Triumph will help. Let’s see.<\/p>\n
