I am on year 2 with the 19t. No looking for 6th gear ever and enough hole shot to drive 2 up in traffic. Like Eddy said, once the weight is moving its about RPM and gear choice. You go up the hill in 4th and I go up in 3rd. Same speed, no problem.
The bike does not have enough HP to run it at the 132MPH on a chart. I will cruise easily at 100MPH. Remember lower RPMs over extended periods means lower wear and less abuse on the lubricants.
Then again, I don't drag race with this one. Its not made for that. Its slow, its a cruiser. I like to cruise but I am old so like all things slow.
