Congrats on new Nomad.
Share some of my finding for my first 2 weeks.
I also got the 2009 1700 Nomad in last 2 weekds-- as far as the 6th gear... is sort of like OD in a car. My opinion, 5th is plent smooth at highway speeds, 6th kind of putts along and if we go to pass, I drop a gear.
Also when I speak of 6th gear note: I'm speaking as a rider who is also doubled up IE: (wife and I).
During first 800 miles, been averaging 40 mpg (total miles / gals). When been pure highway, running 60 65, been getting 41 and 42... Happy Happy Loving it... Wish would warm up a little here though ---
I did note back on Feb 2nd that I did see my shadow.... LOL The Woodchuck
