RE: Whaddaya shift at???
Even in the twisties, I like to keep it around 4k -6k. The bike easily
accelerates out of corners and slows by letting off the gas. These bikes
have enough torque, that I rarely have to shift.

I'm with Bill on this one. I like one less gear around the cagers.
More go on tap, and compression braking free for the asking.
