65mph/ 5th gear/ 3400RPM
65mph/ 6th gear/ 3000RPM

Congrats JetA,
After 200 miles, some on interstate, i confirm the 400 rpm difference between 5th and 6th.
I was turning about 3300 at 70 mph.
I find the gearbox very well suited for city use.
Enjoy your bike!

Congrats to both of you on your new bikes! Thumbs Up

If you like yours half as much as I like mine, you will be very happy indeed! Excited

If memory serves me, the '13 is turning just under 4000 RPM at 70mph in 5th gear, and around 4300 RPM at 75 mph. I'll have a look today at 65 mph, 70 mph, and 75 mph.

I think Ferret posted the ratio's for the Deluxe, they are slightly shorter than the '13 from 1st through 5th. 6th gear will be nice for road trips. Your posts seem to confirm this. Pretty much what we expected.

Nice! Thumbs Up
Now, how about some pics!!!!!!!!!!
