I ride a Ninja 250... I don't think I've ever been anywhere when I haven't tried for 7th...

Well of course just to make sure. I watch my mirrors alot to make sure the wife is still there and ok on her R6 and sometimes have to think "am I in 5th or 6th" .

Now when I'm not watching for her and getting on it then no...I know what gear I'm in.

The RC has a tach, and six gears, but I have yet to try for 7th. Hell I rarely ever used 6th.

The VTX on the other had, was a different story. No tach just a spedometer, and 60 in 4th felt very much like 75 in 5th. On that big beast, I've tried for 6th, hell I've even tried for 7th on that pig.
