    I've never touched a gearbox. Never even bothered reading about them.
    Just when I heard primary and secondary thought that it changed between the two.

    fair enough, made me giggle all the same....

    mabey take ya gearbox apart and have a look LOL
    primary is a pair of gears.. its the first reduction in rpm, this is imput shaft and first ley gear.. on the ley shaft is the first ley gear (par tof the primary) and the first gear of the secondary set... this links to the output shaft.. so theres 3 shaft's, 4 gears with a FIXED input and output ratio...gear ups are in pairs as it makes it more ajustable (well, 125's aint)

    172mph CLAIMED.

    It's true it's faster than the other 600's of this year.

    and your looking in the high 160's on the road.

    Maybe 167 true speed, something like that.

    :msn1: a car isn't the same as a bike. tell your 18 year old friend to go in to a bike dealership and try get a test ride on any sports 600 and see if he gets a go.

    :rtfm: every site and mag says "genuine 172.34" when tested with the same rider in the same conditions on a race track.

    are you meaning to tell me they are all wrong because you found out the true speed on a uk road!?

    well that's bullshit,
    company insurance doesn't allow you to drive anything over a 220cdi (or might be a 270cdi) ON THE ROAD untill your over 21,
    he's telling you porkies


    but yer im sure and r6 will pull that in first, my sv will do over an indicated 50mph and it aint even remotely designed to pull high revs
