Who is BS'ing who?
My statement about my bike was not based on emotions, just 100,000 miles of facts, or should I say riding it. Not trying to argue with any Einstein that is present. No point in saying anything more for me, the only way to prove my statement would be for the doubters to ride the bike and verify what I have said....and the bike is long gone...
OK lets try this again
it doesn't matter if the bike is long gone or out front with a full tank I don't NEED to ride it (although it would be fun) to disprove something that is a factual impossibility
to increase speed you open up the throttle
when you open the throttle, you "give it more gas"
when you give it more gas you USE more gas simple as that,
if it could go faster using LESS fuel you would have to close the throttle to speed up
so you are telling me when you give it less gas it goes faster?
now do you see how utterly ridiculous that sounds?
in order to increase speed you need to increase power
in order to increase power you need to increase the amount of fuel you give it,
and when you increase the amount of fuel you give something it uses more fuel not less
what is actually happening is your bike was geared at a much higher range than the average car, I am guessing around 20 MPH more combined with the much lower wind drag of a motorcycle, the amount of fuel it used to go 75 MPH was only slightly more than the amount of fuel it used to go 55 MPH giving the illusion of better MPG, in fact the difference in fuel economy was minimal, but in order to maintain 75 you need to crack the throttle open a bit more than you need to maintain 55 correct? :coffee2:
