[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 135645, member: 38"] I think it will somewhat depend what kind of riding you do. If I leave here and say go to California, or Alberta I don't worry too much about being slightly sluggish starting off, and would much rather have cruising at a somewhat lower engine RPM. On the other hand If I had to drive in and out of Vancouver every day in traffic with a passenger that's another whole kettle of fish..... Pick what you need to do the job at hand. Put a few thousand miles on it this summer and THEN see what you think of the gearing..... remembering that these are slow revving big torquey V twin engines. And What is a Kettle of fish anyway? I'm originally from York (OK I left when I was about to turn 5) so should know one of the answers to that question. [/QUOTE]
