Remind me never to buy one of your used bikes! That sounds pretty extreme? 3 grand in 6th is like 80 mph? How fast are you traveling? Our bikes make their power lower in the rpm range? An hour at 5 grand? I don’t think these bikes are made for that kind of abuse. They are touring bikes. Cars that run in that band have solid lifters, heavy springs and are torn down frequently? Cars that can survive like that are over head cams with small cylinder displacements.
Just sayin....
Yep, 78 mph is 3000 rpm. Riding the mountains 3000 RPM and up to 4000 is where the bike does well.
Fully disagree on cars, may have been true in the 60's. My last two Corvettes, a 14 and now an 18 on the Track I shift at over 5000 RPM. Doesn't not have solid lifters, red line is 6500 rpm. Car is fully warrantied for track use. Not small displacement at 376 cubic inches, not overhead cam either. Mine is not even the very high performance supercharged version that is 750 HP, and still track warrantied.
At Ron Fellows Corvette performance driving school they run these cars almost every day, 8 hours a day on the track the whole time above 5000 rpm. They do not even tear the engine down yearly.
