RPM Question
Thinking of picking up a '19 Forty Eight Special. About at what RPM is the 1200 turning at 60 mph? Just curious.

If you're wondering on whether or not you need 6th gear, I don't believe its necessary. I'm fine with cruising at 75 in 5th.

Good to know. Maybe I will get a chance to test ride one when my dealer gets one in.
