The biggest short coming I experienced in the twisties recently is the range between 1st and 2nd gear.

Dropping to 2nd from 3rd for a curve was no big deal, but dropping to 1st from 2nd for those up hill hair pins was painful.

I guessed about a 2000 rpm drop between 1st and 2nd but only 1000 rpm between 2nd and 3rd.

I hardly ever use 6th gear, I wish they would have taken 6th and inserted it in between 1st and 2nd.
