wes0778 Posted June 21, 2012 Share #5 Posted June 21, 2012 On these really high geared bikes, don't even think about 5th gear slower than 65, and even then if you need to accelerate quickly down shift to 4th, or even 3rd!!! Third will get you over 90mph Don't be afraid to hit the rev limiter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
