Gotta be fourth for me

Second, well it was on the rs. Did 30 in first (which i thought was quite good for a 125) and with the powervalve opening it still shifted, so in second it still kicked pretty hard but you were going a bit faster, maybe 45-50 or so

I have 16/46 sprockets and spend most time in 3rd or 4th gear, but 2nd gear in the dragon is most fun

I usually like every gear, except first, provided I am around the 6500 rpm range, it always feels nice.

I couldn't find PVC as an option

6th is best on my airfield - cruises nicely at 100+

seeing as third seems to be the favorette. maybe suzuki should make an sv with 5 3rd gears

Yup 4th for me too, when I am out with my mates (all on 1000cc machines) I find myself having to use 4th and 5th just to keep pace with them through the twistier A road stuff... 4th is great, loads of punch from low(ish) speeds...
