Illegal to be going 4000rpm or more??? now that is something i have never heard..... last time i checked, it was illegal to speed... not rev your motor!

Especially on a Jap motorbike. You're rarely below 4k. Modern 250's redline at 20k or more

4000rpm in 3rd or 4th IS speeding

I do believe the word used was "rarely".

Obviously i'm not driving around in top gear at 4000rpm @ 110km/h

4000rpm is around 60km/h in 2nd, you would obviously change into top gear and settle into a cruise..

Car idles at 1600rpm, my RE-13 doesn't come on cam until 2700rpm. I certainly ain't going to be changing gear as soon as it get's on cam. Taking it to 4000rpm in each change before i reach the speed limit is stroking it along in 1000rpm of the on cam powerband. I don't know about your's but my 1098 is pretty smooth and it loves it.

Changing at or around 4000rpm will give me 250-300km per tank. If i change considerably higher and floor it everywhere and brake hard ect..that figure can drop to 180km.
