New EX on the Way!

[the Ferret]

For me that's an issue with a lot of Euro bikes. They just don't like running at less than 4000 rpms. If you are a "lugger" and not a "revver" type rider, it can just drive you nuts. I have ridden Guzzi's and Beemers and that is pretty much the norm. My son's Ducati is like that as well..why put a 5th or 6th gear on it if you have to be on the autobahn to use it?
