 \\;+ 100% I wasn't expecting this result either, but the XIED's made 6th gear ALOT more useful. I passed someone at 60 mph, in 6th gear, would of never been able to do this before the Xied's.

ditto and my 6th gear light indicator is also slow to come on (about a second delay)

Yes, if they stay around 60. I usually don't use 6th until 70 or so.

still had plenty of throttle left, but 100 MPH with 1 hand on the handlebar, and 1 hand holding the camera, was fast enough for me.

RE: 6 speed bikes
No complaints on the 6 speed. I can ride at 60 in 6th gear no problem with the O/L on the back. I don't get it, I ride with lot's of 5 speed bikes so? I don't have problems, I just ride. I drop into 6th gear at 58-60 and just ride along. So what am I missing here? just ride.
