Why is Third Gear the best gear for most situations

UMMM , have you ever rode a KX500? Did you know that the KX500 has 6 speeds? :prof: Some who have rode the KX500 never new that it had 6 speeds. They were to scared to get above 4th gear. :thumb:
My 200 (ktm) was a 6 speed wide ratio. Never really liked the gearing.. a bit gappy. It was an ideal enduro bike though. Personally I like the narrower ratio on my 250 a lot, also the narrow in my 650, except if it had a 6th it would be better.
