When I bought the bike I asked how many gears it had, the (then) owner said
five, the internet said 6, other people said 5.
Just been out for my first real hoon-et on the bike. It has six.

Whats going on, do all B6s have 6 or only the very early ones?

I feel like a member of Spinal Tap, The numbers all go to eleven.
Look...right across the board.


In other news - Yes, I did have fun, even on new tires.

Did the (then) owner actually ride it?

Thought it all sounds a bit strange.

Mine has six gears too. If you look on the side of the casing near the
gear lever, youll notice that there is 65432N1 written there, the 6
being at the top and 1 being at the bottom.

He did 2,000 miles in his year of ownership, maybe he just never noticed . .

The GS550L loaner I had had one of those, only it read:

8... 8... 8... 8... 8... 8...

That was nothing, though, compared to the rock-solid shocks, and leaky
forks. Or the complete lack of go.

I was glad to give it back.
