Just wow
After a year or so on the old GZ250 (Where 'short shifting' wasn't really possible due to lack of power and lousy gearing) I found out today that I've really been short shifting the F3 I got a month or so ago.
Coming back from lunch, I turned out of the neighborhood, and decided to play around above 5,000 RPM, where I usually don't get to, lazily upshifting and keeping things around 4K-5K RPMS when riding it. I ran it up to around 7K or so before upshifting (Only got to 3rd gear this way before I hit 45). Damn, these things have some serious ***** the higher you get into the pwerband, huh?
I guess that all the fun starts to happen above 5-6K.
That's all, just realizing what I'd been missing before coming over to sportbikes.
