6th... worthless gear. I literally never use it. Hell, I keep it in 4th a lot of the time just to avoid speeding too egregiously.

It's even worse on my bike. 3rd is cruising along at 70mph, 4th-6th will get you arrested.

I hate lugging engines along at low rpm which is probably why my fuel economy is such shite.
