4 speed tip - Gear Ratio

1st gear : 80km/h (80)
2nd gear : 125km/h (45)
3rd gear : 190km/h (65)
4th gear : Top speed Unknown/Limited.
2nd gear seems to be fast. The speed climbs fast as well as the RPM is rising fast.
But 3rd gear is absolute sh*t. Speed takes forever to climb and the RPM move in slow motion.
Just trying to find out why 3rd gear is so sluggish.
I assume the shorter the gear ratio, the faster the rpm climbs, thus better acceleration?
Sorry for my noob-ness. I also not quite sure what i've stated here makes any sense.

Does the Fto get to 80 in first? From memory I recall hitting 5-6k in second at 80? Rev the second gear does more than 140.

At that speed your biggest enemy is wind resistance. Has absolutely nothing to do with gear ratios.

when you shift do you slightly let go of the accelerator? or full throttle all the time?
i dno if its just me but i notice i get a kick when i slightly let go of the accelerator, like as if i was driving a manual.
