Normally, I shift about where Dupo says, but if I'm saving gas, it's probably a little earlier into 2nd (around 12-15mph) and 5th (around 45). If I'm really winding the gears out, I probably shift into 2nd around 22 and 5th around 55-60, but when I'm conserving gas, it's into 2nd at 12-15, into 3rd at 25-30, into 4th at 40, and 5th at about 45. If I'm cruising along residential streets that I know I'll be on for a while, I shift into 4th at 30mph and that's about the slowest you can go without bogging down the engine.

But I'm still convinced that these bikes each have their own unique personalities.
