ORIGINAL: buddah

how often do you guys really use six...I haven't gotten my bike fast enough to even use 5th yet
all the time.

How fast do you go to keep it out of 5th gear? Have you been on a highway yet?

I also use it all the time...If im on a road that doesn't deserve bein in the powerband ill be in sixth just to save gas if the speedlimit is high enough and I can just cruise....otherwise on the highway if im just cruisin ill be in sixth--still plenty of power if im not tryin to go ***** to the wall

90MPH more is what my speedometer incidated I was going faster than you... so far!

I obvisouly wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but we all have our moments where we decide everything is just right and gun it.

Happened to me once, prolly won't see 145 on the speedo againfor some time. I do admit to breaking 100MPH every day I ride. Life just seems different when you do 100 everyday. Hell, prolly 80% of the population never sees 100, let alone hitting it everyday.

Good stuff.

I had actually felt like I was missing my 6th. But honestly it could have been greed for speed. Never actually counted. 145 screaming down the highway, how many gears I have is the last thing on my mind. Once I tried to take a picture of my speedometer while doing this. Didnt work, but oh well it was worth a try.
