Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Can anyone tell exact average of Discover 125 and CB Shine rather than average given by company?
  • Discover far better then shine
  • But DISCOVER average is much better than CB SHINE.
  • I can understand why this answer is important to you. However before I answer, you need to answer one question. Do all riders weigh the same and do they all drive only in 4 the gear all the time ?If your answer to that question is 'NO' then you need to understand that each rider driving the same bike will get differing mileages simply because our riding styles are different and we weigh different.Still to give you a ballpark figure I would say 56 to 60 kms.
