-   -   tvs starcity - 4-gear vs 5-gear (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/motorbikes/79552-tvs-starcity-4-gear-vs-5-gear.html)

I own a TVS Starcity. Very satisfied with the bike. Smooth ride, and decent fuel efficiency. It has 4-gears.

2-3 months after I purchased this vehicle, TVS came with another version of star city that has 5-gear mechanism. What does this 5th gear help with? Is it helpful at higher speeds? If it is useful, is it possible for converting my vehicle's 4-gear mechanism to 5-gear mechanism? If yes, is it worth (in terms of money and the experience shift) to get this change done?
