6th gear syndrome..

I rode a brand spanking new CB11 from the dealer and the shifting was a bit odd at first. It shifted almost too easy. Before I knew it I was in 3rd gear. On the highway it seemed fine at about 4000 rpms. My 919 cruises at 4000 rpms which is really nice. Has a sweet spot about 72 mph. The CB11 was nice with a 5th top gear because I could then use the extra rpms to pass cars in the left lane. An overdrive is nice. but you'd have to trade up and pay the depreciation plus the cost of the new bike.
