I agree with LJ here, but fwiw I typically ride around 50 mph on surface streets, and 70 on the highway. The bike is turning around 2800 rpm at 50 and 3400 at 70 both in 4th gear. The people here in Dallas really speed, so even if 50 in a 35 zone seems fast it is just keeping with the flow. But then again it depends on where I am.
