I'm curious about how other CB1100 owners ride their bikes when cruising down the highway, or freeway.
It's two-lane country roads here, even our "highway" and I just never get to the freeway. I don't experiment with hard acceleration too often, and tend to keep the bike in the lower rpm's no matter what gear I'm in. But if I'm cruising at the posted speed (50), the bike is running around 3200 - 3400 rpm.
Some of the highways here are 55 or even 60, rpm will go up a little to accommodate that, but it's still under 4k.
What about you?
I'm also curious what the bike is like at much higher rpms - I've just never done it.
