OK...this is just one of those random (and stupid) thoughts I had while riding my 300 the other day on the Interstate.
So the 300 has a little indicator that shows up when you are riding "nicely" called an Economical Riding Indicator shown by an ECO symbol that pops up by the speedometer. First, I think its a funny little indicator because who in the world should be looking down at this small little icon while riding a motorcycle just so they can make sure they are riding economically?!?!?:confused: Anyway, so I was on the interstate and looked down to check my speed and noticed that ECO symbol on while I am doing 68MPH. Which made me think, how fast can you go and this symbol still show up? So after some tests, the fastest I could travel was 72MPH and at 73MPH it turns off. ((and yes I know, I did what I just said was funny...I stared at the little indicator light to see if I was riding economically :rolleyes: but it WAS for science purposes:D))
So whats the difference between 72 and 73 that makes the bike economical at 72 but not at 73?:cool:
