I'm gonna be the outlier that says "2000 to 2500 rpm" when I'm just riding around. The engine definitely is not lugging at 2k rpm; I can shift that thing up to sixth at about 40 mph and just pretend it's an automatic. Doubt I've ever run it much above 4000 rpm; it just doesn't ask me to do it.
This would be in contrast to my other bikes: Harley Touring bikes - 2500 to 3000 rpm; old BMW K75s - 3500 to 4000 rpm, KLR 650 - 3500 to 4500 rpm.
Low rpms on the CB just might be the reason I see over 50 mpg all the time!
