Which is the best rpm, acceleration for better mileage / average
Good mileage doesn't come with bikes by default. You have to maintain your driving habit to make best use of your fuel. There are list of tips you could follow to get good mileage with your bike / scooter.
Generally 3000 to 5500 rpm is the best rpm where you get best mileage. Too low or too high acceleration may cause more fuel consumption. On empty roads, rather than revving up your engine, you should maintain some constant rpm to get good mileage. You can find more tips on above url.

I have been helping a friend choosing his next bike. He was sure about pulsar and didn't want to go for any other Company in same range. But he was confused between 200NS and 220F. He liked look of 220 very much but also liked technology of 200 NS. So here what i experienced while test drive both the bikes.
About Pulsar 220F : Pulsar 220F has unique look, DTSi technology is also good. Its engine produces 21 bhp of power and gives mileage of approx 35-40 kmpl. While test driving, i found 220F quite comfortable as compared to 220F, but it was because i used to drive pulsar 150 and seating position is somewhat similar to that. 220F comes with disc brakes both front and rear and tubeless tyres. both telescopic suspensions, Nitrox at rear.
