The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

I mostly ride two up on the B. I wouldn't even consider it. If you weigh 150 it might not hurt the clutch too bad. Why take a chance. Honda gave you low gear for a reason. Use it.

I use second gear all the time, I only weigh 166 and do not feel like first is necessary. So you only need three gears around town and fifth for over 55 mph. First does come in handy when their is a large woman on the back, or a trailer, or going up a ramp/ hill. I love this bike-

I'm not a big fan of first gear. Jumpy as hell especially before full warm up. I try to use second as much as I can. Looking at Ricks gear indicator when he completes it.
I find myself using second gear alot riding solo. Much faster takeoff.
I paid for 5. I use 5.
