Now now, we should ask ourselves if we are getting greedy. Correct me if I am wrong, 6th gear was becoming popular only about 10 years ago. When I had my beemers, the newer ones, I rarely used the top gear except on autobahn. It's a Tenere and a single we are talking here, not an autobahn rocket trying to race against a speedy ICE (german version of bullet train) train.
