In my opinion; you will get a feel for the rpm's as you gain experience; it's much more important to be in the right gear at any given speed so naturally as your skills improve your rpm's "may" increase in the twisty bits but it's much more important you know how to corner without closely inspecting the ditches and meeting cute x-ray techs.
I can't ever recall rpm's being part of the corning discourse; other than to keep them up so you don't stall out. Handling rpm's is very basic to riding, proper corning is a bit more complicated - especially if you want to take them faster (and faster is not always better). Read up an anything Keith Code has written on it (and there are some very good videos too). If you handle the corners "properly", rpm's will naturally take care of its' self.
Start here; highly recommended if you can't take his classes.
