If one of you Gen 2'ers or Gen 3'ers can tell me the exact RPM reading you have at 80 mph (GPS) it would be greatly appreciated. I'll need this from someone who's running a stock sized rear tire.
After looking at all the contenders at the Dallas IMS show I'm standing on the threshold of pulling the trigger on a Gen 3 but I need to get a couple of niggly issues resolved first. All have to do with the transmission and whether I'm going to be happy with a 5 cog for the next 5+ years. My understanding is that there's no difference in ratios between a 2 and a 3 but that there is a difference of those two from the Gen 1, which is what I currently have.
A question for you Gen 3'ers only, does the display of your current gear selection stay visible all the time regardless of what you have selected on the trip computer?
Finally, has anyone here gone to a slight plus-size tire to change effective gearing? May a 190/55 vs stock 180/50?
BTW, I freak'n LOVE the new front end look and the '13 color. The ole girl still looks smok'n!
