The 125cc Suzukis I'm familiar with have only a 5-speed gearbox. But for that dual-purpose model, sure having an extra gear makes it easier to set it up for general usage despite its aerodynamic disadvantage on highway. Well, maybe it also being subjected to lesser emission regulations than a more recent model with a similar engine leaves a more reasonable power and torque reserve.
