Sorry Beagle,
I put the six speed in my bike... but not to get me there quicker. You see I have an Ultra with lots of cargo space, a comfy seat, stereo, ect... in other words the bike is ment to do miles, lots of miles in a day. Being able to drop the RPMs down 500 to 600 while cruising on the open road is very nice! Little less drone on the ears, little less vibration, little more fuel economy, its all good. It won't help me shave a 1/100th sacond off my quarter mile time though due to the lack of it inceasing my distance per time (thanks for the definition) ratio.
I do have one problem with the 6-speed, cruising at 85-90, I sometimes look for a 7th gear.
