[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1101942, member: 28773"] Don't attack me! At 55 mph indicated my ST1300 and Dad's '07 FJR turn exactly the same RPMs, both have 5 speed gear boxes. The ST1300 tops out at about 144 mph (actual, not indicated). I would say that the ST1300 and the FJR are geared almost identically. My point is that the ST1300 is arguably the more "Touring" of the two and it makes do just fine with a 5 speed. A BMW riding friend of mine who rode my bike said, "At first I thought it was stupid that it did not have a 6th gear. Then I realized it only needs one gear! You can take off in 3rd and stay there all day!" I said, "God help you if you ever ride an FJR. You will sell that RT." [/QUOTE]
