It is only 1st that is lower. I selected it because rev drop on upshift can be greater on low gears where there is less air resistance. At high speed you need a small rev drop to continue accelerating.The 5 speed TTI (with low first) has a nice ratio spacing progressively decreasing at higher gears. This gives fairly good acceleration from standstill and up. But the 350 Manx engine with a short usable rev range is still not happy at very low speeds. Have to slip clutch when going in the pits. Out on track completely enjoyable. On the tracks I've ridden (with no really tight hairpins) 1st is only used for starts.
