Shifts corresponding to RPM's my experience/your experience

Up in the canyon twisties I'm usually in 2nd or 3rd. As someone else has stated, I feel like being in the upper revs gives me better control. If I feel I am coming into the turn too hot I can roll off the throttle a bit and slow down without the need to brake. If I'm at around 5k, the bike is right in the sweet spot for either slowing down or speeding up.

Around town I see no need to wind her up that much, so I rarely go over 4k. Getting on a freeway onramp I usually let 'er rip, though. It's fun.
