I not a speed demon only go 50 to 55 unless on an interstate then I go 60 65,and then the rpm is really high. it acts like it should have a 6th gear.

Does the bike actually have a tach? What is it reading? I know a lot of cruisers have seemed that way to me. My stepdad has a VTX1800, and I've always said it needed another gear.

no tach on the the bike it has drag pipes and the are really talking at 50 or 55 mph but it also feels like it is reving real high.

It may just be the way it's designed to run. Especially with the pipes, it may just sound that way to you. What are you used to that you are comparing it to? Do you have any pics by the way?
