[QUOTE="Big Sky, post: 1298813, member: 3460"] Anyone remember the Chevy Powerglide? Two-speed automatic: first too high, second too low. My '64 Falcon had three-speed manual. My Scout and Bronco had four-speeds. My 4-Runners had five speeds, my Tacoma has a six-speed. Wife's new RAV4 has six-speed auto. The Tacoma six-speed has gears that are sometimes redundant; I often shift from fourth to sixth, or third to fifth. And, yes, I may find myself having run the last five miles at 70 mph in fifth. Whatever. They all did/do the job, some perhaps more efficiently. I still think the '16 FJR six-speed was more a response to market pressures than anything else. Yamaha has done the right thing: gotta stay competitive and answer the critics. Regardless, there it is, now enjoy! [/QUOTE]
