Sometimes I think bike makers have entirely missed the point. or at least they don't ride bikes habitually.
For instance my Triumph thunderbird has a six speed gearbox supposedly an improvement from the old 5 speed. But the thunderbird has an immensely flexible engine and does not need six speeds so going up through the box wastes time and makes the ride much more "busy" than it needs to be. what would be good would be to have neutral between 2nd and third and set the rest wider apart. top gear is fine, it does not need all the intermediate gears.. use 2nd as a "normal first gear and the 1st as a super low first so you can creep at tickover without slipping the clutch. Why such a piddly little battery ? especially as it has no kickstart.
Tremens, perhaps thats the problem, 210KGs adventure bikes perhaps adventure bikes should be smaller and lighter ???
