Because if it didn't have that 6th gear it wouldn't hit 50mph out of the box...

I occasionally ride with Guzzis with 6-speeds. Their owners complain that they rarely ever get to use 6th gear, unless they happen to be in the middle of Nowhere, Montana. I guess Nowhere, Arizona is good for a tall 6th, too.

Lots of empty desert to exploit a sixth gear...

I just thought it was funny that little "cafe racer" had a six speed. It actually looks kinda fun.

I have a Baker 6 speed in my S-2 and love it.I went with the S-1 front(27) and with the overdrive 6th, I was still seeing a decent drop at freeway speeds.Also shifted better.

With the amount of torque that Chinese 50 has it needs a 23 speed, so that owner should be complaining of being 17 gears short...

Love my six speed....seems to keep the engine in the right powerband, and lets me cruise on the highway at around 80 mph, at around 2900-3000 rpm....rex
