Check out post #24. Looks like they wanted to give it some rumble, growl or whatever. It does sound pretty fierce when it gets that noise going on acceleration.
The lack of an urgent feeling at certain rpm's is hard to explain. When I mentioned "harmonic dissonance" in an earlier post, Dave asked for a technical mechanical explanation, which I don't have.
However, I Googled it, and found a lot of music references. Comparing chords and sound waves that intersect at even or uneven spots. Apparently it can be used as a musical device to provoke anticipation, or disquiet. I urge you to check it out, it kind of describes that feeling I get of "shift me , or make me go faster" that I feel in stock mode.
Interesting that that feeling is reduced with the higher gearing of a 19 tooth front sprocket and even more with the smaller rear sprocket, and may be why those with a six speed seem less likely to have a problem with it.
The term may have been used on me at an early age when violin lessons were inflicted upon me.
