I finally purchased my new 2007 Xb12s Lightning. Im currently going through the breakin period and I have about 200 miles so far. I've been riding in the 2500 to 3500 RPM rang. After the bike has been broken in, what is a typical cruzing RPM?

My Uly, S3T and 12R typically hit a sweet spot at 3500-4000 RPM. No need to rev these bikes to the stratosphere. On the highway 75MPH usually translates to about 3200-3500 RPM if I am not mistaken.

My XB12R splits the speed in half, 70MPH = 3500 RPM
80 MPH = 4000 RPM. That's in 5th gear of course.
