Sounds like it’s geared very long
Yes maybe. I did actually crack the throttle a few times, but it just wasn't at all necessary.
The new luxury of overtakes..... Habit kicked in on the first one and I upshifted unnecessarily, but after that I just wound it up and found myself at warp speed in an instant. It's amazing to actually slow down on an overtake about the same moment when on the XJ I'd be upshifting at the redline!

Sounds like it’s geared very long, my CBR600 would do 60+ in 1st but that was at 12-13k rpm!
I spend most time on my s1000r in 2nd-4th and only really use 5th-6th for cruising.
