I haven't needed to get out of 4th gear since I bought the 1098.. even into triple digits...
 But before that, yeah.. especially on my old F2.

I have, but let's face it..
If you think you *need* a 7th gear on a Hayabusa, well, you're just a greedy bastard. The line starts behind me.

I ride a Ninja 250... I don't think I've ever been anywhere when I haven't tried for 7th...

The RC has a tach, and six gears, but I have yet to try for 7th. Hell I rarely ever used 6th.
The VTX on the other had, was a different story. No tach just a spedometer, and 60 in 4th felt very much like 75 in 5th. On that big beast, I've tried for 6th, hell I've even tried for 7th on that pig.
