Welcome ;D Yes I find that this bike does not like to be lugged or else you get a lot of drivetrain chatter.

Yeah, she is waaaay more revvy than a Meanie. She is much more comfy whirring around at 3500 - 400 rpm than at 2,000 RPM. I'd say, if you're trying to gun past someone at 45 mph in 5th gear, you shifted into 5th too early.

Well we know that the 109 will do 127 in 4th now so I would say that's a good passing gear.
