I am riding a vtec 2. These are my experience to share.

Once I ride on NSH Malaysia I travel at speed 130km/h and higher for more than 1 hour, meaning that the vtec valve is always open. I discovered that my fuel consumption shoot up to about 40% more!

So I can confirm that when vtec open your bike will drink more petrol.

If you dont belive you can try it out.

Cheers

I think this will happen to all bikes.....

 

when u are at high RPM u will eat more petrol, have VTEC a not still high RPM..

 

eg. my previous ride was a TA200.

normal ride 90-110km/h can last 300+km

NSH ride 120-130km/h last only 200km

 

 

just my tots......

Another factor to consider:

 

Higher speed = higher wind resistance = more power needed to travel at that speed = more petrol consumption.

But i got quite a lot of things to carry for my despatch. need at least 2 boxes. Thought of honda wave but very hard to install 2 boxes on wave right??

 

ANyone any recommendations? thought of s4 cos my fren said s4 fuel tank bigger, more power n if go m'sia pump petrol then use s4 do despatch is quite economical.

 

Is it true guys??

THINK AGAIN MAN......

 

true tat S4 hav got bigger tank as compare to 2B bikes, 18.5 litres to do 320-350km ???

 

but the runnin cost of a S4 not cheap leh - oil, plugs, filters, parts, fuel, tax, insurance, etc ... ...

 

still think a 2B bike will do a better despatch job, eg : TA 150, RXZ, RXK

 

but of course, we hav to pay a higher price for a higher comfort level.

 

cheers....

I think for high usage, small capacity 4-strokers with electric start is a must. Wave is a great bike for the job, and and added plus, no clutch to worry about, just twist and go, concentrate on the traffic. Got basket to put things for easy access too, like street directory.

s4 for a katah is an overkill.

all s4 can hit an average of 300 to 320 full and some times more.
