Wombat1940
Have bike, will travel
I am currently trading in my GS500 for a FZ6.
I love the sound/feel on the GS500 at 5000rpm sitting on 100kph. Its almost like cruising in over-drive.
My brother has a CB400. At 100kph he's looking for another gear.
I did some calculations to compare the GS v the CB v the FZ6 engine speeds at 100kph each in top gear. You'll find it here:
drop.io wombat1940
or, very briefly
GS500: Engine speed 5000rpm ...................... 100kph
CB400: Engine speed 5396rpm ...................... 100kph
FZ6S: Engine speed 6379rpm ...................... 100mph
This just a summary of the result. Figures used to determine the outcomes can be provided by email upon request.
I'd love comments as to whether I've got it right.
