I have some snotty trails and find even 13-50 is overkill.
Yeah the Gassers have nice wide boxes. The only place I ever used first at 12-48 is if I stalled on a steep hill - saves abusing the clutch on restart. Going to 13-48 on my 200 meant I actually use 1st occasionally beyond starting as it's not too aggressive. Still not often as I find 2nd and a bit of clutch slip gives a smooth tight turn that allows you to get on the gas as soon as straight instead of trying to find the next gear.
