While I will agree that its a nice looking machine I do wonder why this is something that is worth mentioning. ....
I've always ridden whatever gear feels right for the road and speed, if 6th feels like its not tall enough, then your most likely going way too fast.


Gear indicators are a bit of a novelty, hence worth mentioning.

Not everyone rides slow.

No excuse! I've done a mere half a dozen rides this year, here in the frozen north, and even I've done better than those.


It's still winter and the ZX6 is my winter bike, so the GSX has not really been anywhere to get it cranked over. If I wanted to attack some twisties I wouldn't really be taking an overweight Bandit. It's hitting the Alps in July though so the passes should sort those strips out.

Because it actually comes in handy. Lots of people fit GiPro or similar gear indicators to bikes that don't have them standard. Makes you wonder why they bother Thinking

It's got a shift light too, is that worth mentioning?
