In actual twisties you'll be in second, sometimes third gear.
Rarely in first if at all. The engine will pull fine from low rpm's in both gears. On the straights you'll be in your higher gears.
Believe me, you won't be looking at your tachometer. You'll have to put 100% attention to where you're going.
Advice: don't overthink. You'll be in your own rythmn soon enough. Ride at your own pace and skill level regardless of what's going on around and especially behind you. If someone crowds you, don't let it get to you. Keep your pace and if they don't blow past, there will be spots where you can pull a little to the right and give them plenty of room to go by.
