Re: Cruise Control

The number of gears doesn't matter, its the ratios that count. There was a Honda 50cc that raced that had something like 12 gears, it had sucjh a small power band that this was the only way to get it up to speed.

One thing I never really understood was why overdrives were not continued apart from on auto's. They are a brilliant way of increasing MPG, offering a sporty close ratio box experience.
