I have a custom map for the Griso, aka the Beetle map - tuned for economy and ease of running. 3K is not a problem. That said, 4 to 5K is the main rpm range unless you wring it out and it hits 8500 (red line) way too easily.
The ergo's are not good for me, however a Russell Day Long seat and Rox bar risers makes her a mile eater. The stock seat, for me, is a bum eater and ten minutes is my limit on it. Other folks love it. On the whole I think it's a better open road machine than the CB, while the CB is much easier to love in the city. It has a beefie stator so you can add things like heated gear, lights etc. with no fear of taxing it.
Modern chains, for me, make the shaft drive vs. chain debate moot.
You make your choices and put your money down.
