I tend to short shift the CB in the lower gears, as well, usually around 3500 rpm, as I'm very sensitive to the tingling vibration that comes on around 4K RPM. In more spirited riding in the twisties , I'll rev out more. I've had the bike up to the redline, but over 7 k, it's not really doing all that much except making a nice sound. I don't enjoy the short shifting mode of propulsion, but it does seem to be the most appropriate way the utilize the CB's abundant and flexible power band.

That's about my style. If I'm just cruising on the straight I'm happy with the 100kph/3400rpm combo but I don't like the rpm dropping below that for any period of time. Similar to Capo, in the twisties I keep a minimum of 4000rpm. I like the engine braking above this and any vibration is of no concern to me.
Cheers
