Default A 6th gear would be nice.

I bet this has been covered here before, but I'll still add my two cents.

I shift into 5th gear just past 50 mph. At about 65-70, it would be really nice to have that extra gear to lower the rpm's. I'm sure there's a logical reason why there is no 6th gear, but I don't know what it is.

The bike rides fine. It would ride better with another gear.
