King Kong very thirsty nowadays
When I first got my b-king a couple of weeks ago, I was still learning it's quirks and getting to grips of it's monstrous throttle response (even at B Mode - which is 70% of full power). Coming from a 1300cc cruiser, this thing is a rocket ship. Anyway, a full tank of gas (approx BND$6) would give me roughly about 240km range easy before the low fuel indicator blinks at me. Now that I'm in constant (A-Mode - full afterburner power) and giving the throttle quite a bit of a workout, I'm lucky if I don't get that blinking low fuel indicator at 180-190km range. That's a bit too thirsty if you ask me. This will pose a problem to it's touring capabilities, but then again I can just switch it back to B-Mode and be a little gentle on the ol throttle. Nah !, I don't think so, what's the point of getting a 181hp bike if you're going to limit it's power to 70%, wasting time. Fuel is cheap, just have to stop more frequently I guess.

yours can't be worse than my tractor, mine will show me the blink at 150km and it will drop dead at around 240km...
ReplyDeleteI guess for what it can do, it's got good enough range, can't complain as I smile everytime i open up the throttle ;-)
