You got it! no chains here. Only mods would be replacing internal gearing, or bigger taller tire
Tbh, id love to have a 6th gear. or an overdrive option with this bike, if that would ever be possible. 5 gears seems just fine to me, but me thinks a taller 5th would be better all around. But dont have that kinda budget for specific mods like that. I'd be better off getting a used 250

On a side note, this things got some great Low end tq, beginning at 2k and ending around 3,5k rpm then seems to level off.

Sorry everyone for drifting off topic. I was curious what would had been said/discussed about the comparison between an AT/MT with gearing, tq converters and the habits they might display. Became more curious about my Trans once i found that link... Why cant bikes have a system like that
