fuel consumption in different power modes
It looks like many new Adv bikes are coming with 2 or 3 power modes.
Never ridden one myself but I wonder if anyone's established whether fuel consumption varies much in these modes. After all, some drop power by 30%.
Could that mean 30% better economy? My impression is a low compression ratio and normal power (< 100hp/litre) often adds up to good mpg, carb or efi.
I imagine for overlanding after a while you'd put your 600cc+ bike on the lowest power mode.
