I was talking with my friends and we were trying to figure out what our favorite gear was. I know it sounds stupid but really when you think about it, it makes you wonder. A gear might be good in one situation but not another. Such as for me 2nd gear is great for wheeling but I wouldn't choose that gear to go around the woods in. I would probably have to pick 3rd gear though, I can still wheelie, barely, and it is a great gear for around the woods. What about the rest of you?

I've got to pick 3rd too. You can go prety fast and start out good in it too. I think my bike has stock gearing and I can make a complete stop then start out again and ride a wheelie with the clutch. 3rd spins like crazy on wet grass.

i also would have to say third , i can climb hills pull wheelies and its a good gear to jump with . im sure someone is going to say fifth or sixth gear even though they rearly are in fifth or sixth gear , just to sound cool like they are riding wide open all the time .

2nd gear....I can catch decent air on a small MX track and wheelie like hell in the woods. I can come to nearly a stand still and just hammer the throttle w/ no clutch and fly out of corners.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Hey I love riding the woods in 2nd and 3rd gear, but ive got a big difference between the gears, but i like using 4th too it will pull up a little in the front but i dont usually get fast enough to use it continously on trails.

4th gear bacause it is my favorite gear to hit jumps in and you can wheelie good in it too.
