hi all, am contemplating between a BKING , FJR 1300 and GTR 1400 can someone advise me on the FC which is better.

Fell in love with the GTR but have read the above seemed the FC is high 15.86/ litre..... am i right?

cheers...

15.86km/litre for a 1.4 litre 300kg machine is VERY good fuel consumption.

dats very true.

 

for my tiger im getting about 15.6km/L for a 208kg(dry weight) 1050cc machine.

 

at best during run in (rpm below 3500rpm) it was 18km/L.

 

never saw that kind of consumption again after that. :(

FJR or GTR??? i'll bet my $30k on a GTR...

with wavey disc, inverted forks, radial mount calipers, keyless entry, tire pressure sensor, you can't find these on any other tourers...

 

unless you like to have 200km/h windblast on your face, then B-King is what you need...

:D

Think ive been riding on the sporty side than touring side :p

 

when touring, avging 170km/h, i get abt 220-230km for 15-16L.

 

normal 80-20 highway street riding, avging abt 120-130 on the expressways, i get abt 15km/l.......not goood.......ive got 2 side boxes though and most of the time no pillions!

80% of my riding is on the expressway.

 

I guess the GTR will get better FC at speed above 100 than my current bike.

 

Guys, its this true?

 

What do u all observe on your FC readings say at 50km/h compare to 110km/h?

 

gtr not easy to get, want to get its not a case of can and will get.

GTR is not meant to go slow for sure... FC greatly improve once you hit 6th gear...

 

Looi's got a grey... dun be choosy lah... got so many black out there liao...

Black is nice... until you get scratches or dirt on it!

 

Silver or gray is the best, cos its the same color as dirt! Hee hee.

 

Anyway, different bikes have different 'sweet spots' for best fuel economy and cruising. My bike does the same 18km/litre at 90 and 120km/h, but throttle response is quite poor at 90km/h. It is happiest cruising at 180-220 though, getting around 14km/litre. Just that rider cannot take the speed.

 

Above readings are taken from a de-restricted stock ZX14 with side panniers and pillion. 100% stock plus solo rider will give better consumption.

:cool:

at 6th gear 3k rpm, it'll give you 110km/h...

at 6th gear, anything lower then 100km/h, you cannot hear the engine begging you for more SPEED!!!

locally, i do not need to go more then 5th gear...

 

so far OTR i only see black GTRs... still waiting to wave to a grey GTR... :D

180-220km/h is a speed I aim to cruise at, unfortunately, the rider can take it but the bike cannot. At about 200km/h, it starts to feel alittle flighty and the vibrations starting to worry me.

 

Is your suspension stock? I have no idea what it feels like to cruise non-stop for say 30mins @ 220. I think the zzr14 and gtr are both comfortable at those speeds? Got to wait for the guys to finish their run in before they can comment.

 

Not going touring with you guys, def. way out of my league.:cheeky:

dats a good ratio for high speed cruising.

 

i have a bad habit of being in the highest possible gear and the lowest possible rpm always. and i get 4000rpm for 6th gear at 100km/h.

redlining it in 6th is not difficult unfortunately.:o

When riding solo I can do those speeds all day long. In fact, its at 200-220 where the bike is happiest, covering distance rapidly while giving reasonable fuel economy.

 

But with pillion, I have to sit quite upright or else my girl would have a hard time, so even with a tall touring screen I can't cruise beyond 160 before it gets really uncomfortable.

hey man, I have the exact same problem.

 

the pilllion issue.:giddy:

 

"sit up right or i'll have a hard time" always rings in the ears when its touring time....

 

we should find our gfs something else to do.

 

 

or just weld on a single seater cover and claim,"I swear, this model comes like that!":cheeky:
