It seems to me the CB could pull a taller gear and maybe get a little better mileage........thoughts?

I thought about it because I commute every day. But I really love how this bike responds to the throttle at speed. I don't have to down shift, just open it up and I am past whoever was in my way and it it so incredibly quick and smooth doing it. If I run at 80 mph I get around 45 mpg.

I agree with the ability to pull, just seems to rev more than seems necessary??
