What everyone else said. The Americal/Speedmaster is a great all around bike. You can trick it out for cruising, carving mountain roads, or touring. When I changed my chain at 24,000 miles I put a 18 tooth sprocket in and now I don't search for that 6th gear you were talking about. There are bikes for sale in the classifed from time to time. I don't know what your price range is but there is a Red/silver 02 TBA on E-bay with just 6,100 miles that will probably go for around $3,000 in Birmingham, Al.,and some newer ones. You could do a fly and ride
