[QUOTE="Bill Lumberg, post: 1434694, member: 87479"] Having had both back to back, the lower rpms at speed is nice. But I never felt underserved by the five speed. I can’t remember whether it was 85 or 95mph, but I was right at 1,000 rpm lower on the (2018) six speed vs. the (2014) five speed, as indicated by the tachometer on both bikes. No better mileage. No higher top speed. The led lighting and lighter clutch pull (and cornering lights) were far more meaningful improvements than the gearing, to me. [/QUOTE]
