Havent needed to go past 5th yet because of the damn streets around here have stop signs everywhere.
Thats just what i've done but i would really like to hear what some experienced riders have to say.
What sound does it make (give me a note or something). I've never ridden a bike or standard until now so I'm not use to engine noises. What is the recommended rpm?
