Premium Member snowdriftless Posted July 14, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted July 14, 2017 Totally 3rd, Good speed range and snappy acceleration along with strong engine braking. P1: Vice? I have no vice, I'm as pure as the driven snow! P2: Yeah but you've been drifting All the gear all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocco Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 It really depends on my mood! 2nd is good at nice and loud but 4th is my favorite long cruise gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 My new favorite gear is 6th gear because if all the other gears fail you can still start in 6th and go highway speeds as well. Don't believe me, check this video out. See @ 2:16 in the video. BTW, this is one of the videos that compelled me to buy my FZ-07. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you can but the question is do you want to be screaming in 3rd or 4th at 70 or more mph. for an extended period of time? I don't but you're more than welcome to it. 5th is another thing, it's just a hair lower than sixth and maybe better than 6th for the same reasons mentioned, depending on who you're talking to but I really just wanted to point out this bikes versatility, not squabble about which gear is best. It's relative. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot 2nd gear... I hit 62MPH, before I shifted into 3rd earlier today, leaving a light on an open stretch of road. I think that qualifies as highway speeds? DewMan Just shut up and ride.

Squabbling about it is exactly the point of this thread! hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just admit it, you didn't like my response, it made you feel stupid and now you're trying even harder to make me look stupid in return by trying to paint me as some fool that would ride a broken bike like that after it initially broke on the road. It was hypothetical, dude. I think most people already realize this thread was just for fun anyway, not to be taken seriously like an oil or suspension thread would be taken. If you go back and read all the other posts you will see that you are the only person questioning anyone's response to the OP and I am the only person being criticized for their opinion. Now who's laughing last? I recommend you not debate people if you can't take constructive criticism without being TRIGGERED. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of unintentionally upsetting you further, I'm not sure what you're on about here mate. I just thought the image of someone riding around in 6'th gear because it's got better fuel efficiency, all the while their transmission is busted was a funny thought. You seem to be the one triggered... bordering on awkward and weird. It's a motorcycle forum, no need to take anything here seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total ball buster until you call him on it, and he immediately tries to throw it back on you all the while ignoring somebody has called him out on his inane BS.

See how you change the narrative like a lying liberal would to squirm out of admitting any wrong doing. No one said a damn thing about gas mileage. The gist was about making it home in 6th with a busted transmission or are you so dense you can't see that? That's a question, don't confuse it with name calling and get triggered, just drop it.

I don't try to keep track of the harassment I get in here but it seems I've had a go around with his arse in the past of other dumb sh*t not worth arguing over. My god, what a f.ucking irritating little pest of a mosquito. He seems to like playing hit & run like a little douche-bag. I've given this too much thought already, back to being happy.

topazsparrow Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I don't talk about politics here, I also don't ball bust / troll anyone - anyone who bothers to read my post history can plainly see that. You guys seem to be forming your own little group think club, aggressively applying identity politics to those who disagree without about entirely unrelated things (motorcycles gears..?) and generally being irrational. I'm not even sure what to say at this point. Furthering this conversation seems to be a waste of time. Enjoy your hate circle jerk while the rest of us continue on happily with our lives.

Dude, just wise up and ask yourself why it's always you and why people say the same thing about you. You need to take a hard look at yourself because you're in serious denial. You spin the truth like it's a game of spin the bottle. Pelosi would be proud. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member maybe07 Posted January 25, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted January 25, 2019 I like all the gears, but if had to pick a favorite, I'd pick 2nd. Yes, you can start in any gear with practice, but with 2nd it's a no-brainer and you can stay in 2nd for a lot of riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me the person that came at me personally and stirred in the sh*t should get what he or she deserves but that's just me. It's your site and I'll respect that. I'll not say anything that would even make this site interesting since it apparently attracts trouble. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
