I take it that 180 wasn't on your SV?
Swap your bike with someone that has a GSXR1k once, you will be amazed at the lower end. The main reason they gear the bikes so high is to keep the morons from hammering it in 1st gear and flipping over. The problem is that once you change the gearing, then you are rapping like crazy on the interstate. I wish 6th was more of an overdrive. Mine is stock now, but my sprockets are starting to get some wear, so I was thinking of gearing it down a bit. That means wheelies are easier though, which leads to trouble
