Sometimes even 5th, and occasionally even 4th! Coming from my Katana that
cruised around 6000rpm, I still find it hard to get used to going 70mph at
around 4000rpm. 6th gear really had to be a marketing decision because it
sure isn't needed. I'd rather they make it a five speed and make 1st a
little lower, make 5th like the current 6th, and then spread the remaining
three gears between those two.
