For a bike that can brake every speed limit in first gear (stock), what does fifth gear have to do with anything?
well yeah, of course i don't always run 1st gear to the limits. actually i haven't, i think i've only pushed it as far as 10K rpm, i read power drop off is at 12K rpm.
i wouldn't wanna ride w/o shifting plus it's gonna be very very noisy and will attract too much attn from cops.
i actually like the stock exhaust since even though it's not very good, it's not very loud either so it doesn't sound like im going very fast.
