Re: Rear End Gear Ratios

Interesting the some people think that a stock Tiger cruising at 70MPH and 
turning 3,000 RPM is acceptable.  If you read the literature from the 1960's 
most people thought this was perfectly acceptable and that the engine was just 
loafing at 3,000.
Now, many of us are used to modern cars and being able to cruise at 70 MPH 
and turn only 1,800-2,000 rpms.  Now that seems to be the acceptable level to 
just "loaf" along;-)
