Anyone done this or think it would be worth the money and performance to change to it?

You'd be shifting non-stop.  Isn't 6 speeds enough?

I agree. I feel like I have to shift all the time with the CruiseDrive 6 as it is.

Spoke to the Baker guys at The Baker booth about the DD7. They've dropped 1st gear a bit lower and made all the gears a bit closer together. 7th is still a 1:1 ratio in the tranny, I think.

Bottom line, I think you'll be shifting more a lower speeds... in addition to already shifting more at cruising speeds (compared to a 5-speed).

I'm a bit leery...

They have to do soemthing to distinguish themselves from the mother ship or they no longer have a product offering for the newer bikes.  Just because you don't need it doesn't mean they don't have to offer it.

There is always some poor smuck who just can't resist the urge in spending thousands of dollars on a non essential part :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks guys, that was my feeling. Wanted to see if everyone felt the same.
