At what RPM do you cruise?
#9
I try to avoid 3,500-5,000 rpm, as that 1,500 rpm-wide block of midrange is where my bike is at its buzziest. Anywhere above 5,000 rpm or below 3,500 rpm, she's mighty smooth. 5,000-plus rpm means too much speed for ticket-free freeway riding, and 75 mph sees the tach nudging too close to 3,500 rpm and the beginning of the buzzy range, so I tend to do my freeway droning at around 70-72 mph, which is something like 3,000-3200 rpm in sixth. I don't recall the exact rpm for 70 mph, but elsewhere on this board mickey has posted the mph/rpm breakdown.
