How much hp do you actually use?

I'm actually not on many on/off ramps. My street is 7/10 mile long with a 25 mph speed limit. Once I leave my street I am immediately in 45-55 mph country curvy roads. There are some straight sections you could open it up in, but truthfully I have no desire to test limits anymore. Tested the upper limits on every bike I rode for maybe 30 years...and survived, and in some situation that outcome was questionable. Guess I got it out of my system.

That's pretty much my scenario too.
Once I clear the slower areas I'm on a 90 kph (54 mph) rural coastal road with great twisties so I just settle down and enjoy the ride.
I sometimes use the 110 kph (69 mph) super slab to get to a rural road, or if I'm in a hurry, but only in those rare circumstances. I avoid the slab when I can.
It's all about the ride, not blasting along on the slab.
If I need to merge, pass, etc., I don't mind twisting the throttle to get that done - and the CB gets that done very well.
