Allow me to become Captain Obvious.....
Sounds very much like personal preference that only test rides can determine.
Some find themselves in 6th right away and all the time.
Others are completely fine with 5 gears and don't ever find themselves wanting for a 6th.
I find it a bit strange that with my CB I never look for a 6th gear, but I'm frequently looking for one on my Honda NT700. Gotta be the gearing difference.
