So once again as a veteran of the two big piston bikes I am curious. Even though the big four makes happy torque up and down the tach, Is there a power sweet spot in the RPM range. My first adventure was running through the gears shifting at about 5K which was getting well north of the 65 mph speed limit by the time 6th came around. I think the other day I was in second probably in the 4-5k range when I flogged it and had my little moment. It seems my Thruxton and I ran into the redline limiter often. The four feels a bit slower to spin up but I imagine thats why God made second and then third. Redline is what 8.5? What is that, warp factor three?
