Ok, let me say first, I don't own this bike yet. If I buy it, it will be for my wife who is driving her own Honda Shadow 600 currently and ready for an upgrade. Most of the riding her and I do is more like touring and consist of moderately long day trips. As a result, at least some of the riding we do is on the interstate at 65 or 70 MPH.
Does the rider experience suffer from not having a 6th gear when traveling for an hour or two at the speeds I mentioned?
I used to have a Vulcan 900 and although it was capable of maintaining interstate speeds, it was anything but fun to drive without that 6th gear to bring the engine revs down.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate your help with this.
