Hey all.
Was out in my Mille in the sunshine today, generally I stick to back roads for fun driving however today it was dual carriage way. Had time to consider the gear ratios.
3000rpm I’m at 62mph.
3300rpm is about 70mph.
Both of these I’d describe as “on cam” and keen to accelerate when needed rather than being more of a cruise gear.
Is this standard 5th gear gearing? If this is standard. Feels like this desperately needs either a longer 5th for cruising or a 6speed box (unlikely)
Photo of the day to please the eyes.
