I would think the rpms would drop more like 400 rpms.

Just picked up a new CB1100 Deluxe. Here are some preliminary RPM data:
65mph/ 5th gear/ 3400RPM
65mph/ 6th gear/ 3000RPM
Congrats JetA,
After 200 miles, some on interstate, i confirm the 400 rpm difference between 5th and 6th.
I was turning about 3300 at 70 mph.
I find the gearbox very well suited for city use.
Enjoy your bike!
Yes I agree the indicator lights stink during the daytime, too small, too low, too hard to see
I'm using 6 th more and more these days. I was using it only over 60 mph. Now I am using it down to 50 mph. I think using it more has upped my mileage about 4 mpg.
Not much chance to run 75 mph in the areas I usually ride in. Taking a trip on it down into central Kentucky this fall, which might require some freeway work to get there. Speed limit there is 70 so running 75 should not be a problem.
I also don't think 6 th is " necessary", just nice to have along with the revised instrumentation. Love the gear indicator.
Found this report too that I did in a thread called Awesome Day

It's a blink under 3k. Something like 2900 and change.
