[QUOTE="flying junior, post: 472007, member: 3575"] I just spent a couple of days on the road in the company of a rider on an RT beemer with a six speed, traveling twisty two-lane highways in the northwest where passing ability really counts. When I was in the lead, he'd complain that he had to downshift to catch up to me in a passing situation. (Actually, he'd catch up only after I'd drop back to 80 or so.) When he was in the lead, he did some pretty impressive cornering, but he couldn't get out of his own way -- or mine -- exiting the turn. All the while, my '04 fjr tooled along in 5th. I think it would quiet down a bit at cruising speeds with a 6th, but it would just be gilding the lily. The 5-speed fjr is a thing of beauty. [/QUOTE]
