Well, today was a record. I think I tried to shift into sixth gear three or four times. Maybe
I should change the sprocket ratio. Oh come on...I know you've done it too!

yea... i know what you mean. i'm always trying to get that last/nonexistant top gear... even on the 7r.

it will only do 158mph in top gear

anyway, can't wait to get the 400f together to experience an SOHC4 with a 6-er

cmorgan47 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 10, 2006, 12:13:19 PM »

seriously, all it will do is have you searching for 7th

Sounds like the Mustang GT that Steve MacQueen drives in Bullitt. That thing has 13 or more gears.

More upshifts than plate tectonics.

Also the HD cafe in Black Rain, ridden by M.Douglas.

The little 50cc production racer of the 1950's had a 12 speed gearbox. If you stood by the main straight you would hear more gear shifts than MPH.

old mate, you're starting to repeat yourself, repeat yourself.

I must say though when I ride the wife's 400, I'm always looking for a 7th gear, and a sixth on my 750 - seems like we're never satisfied!

cheers
Peter.

i cant say anything about looking for it on the CB but i am guilty of it with the VF lol

Rocking-M · « **Reply #19 on:** November 11, 2006, 01:36:00 PM »

Y'all have passed this disease on to me now. I tried to find 6th at least three times today

mrbreeze · « **Reply #20 on:** November 11, 2006, 03:20:00 PM »

So what gears are all of you 6&7 speeders runnin? If you get a smaller rear sprocket...you might not find the need to search for a non-existent gear! I went down to a 42 rear and it helped a bit on the freeway.

Rocking-M · « **Reply #21 on:** November 11, 2006, 05:16:52 PM »

Hey, I'm in the mountains, there is really no reason I should want a sixth,
I just caught that shifter disease
