Do you ever use high RPM's?
Do any of you ever rev your RT up to to high rpm's when going thru the gears just for the heck of it?

No ..... However to maximize " passing power ", I have taken it up to 7000 or so ...... Mike

Why bother, there's a rev limiter on the engine.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

YUP....and it's a helluva lot of fun!
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

I go visit my buddies a couple days a week for a nice beverage and talk. The route takes me down a not very uncrowded four-lane divided highway for about 6 blocks. It makes a safe place to go through the gears and blow the carbon out. Nothing like 87 miles an hour in third gear

Of course I do "let her breath "
With the ECU up grades, pulling to 7k is just fine. And fun also. Did I say my other bike is an old,slow V-Max. The V-boost works--- just be pointed straight.

Ours has been spun up a few times...Kinda cool seeing the statistic numbers in BUDS. That onboard computer catches and stores everything.

Well I have pulled out to the 4 lane and ran the revs up to merge with traffic. Why just today I looked down and was at 6000 RPM at 69 MPH after 15 miles down the "slab" and then remembered that I needed to shift up to 6th..... (palm slap to forehead)

998 VTwin. I love to run it up to the rev line. It is still pulling hard and I hate it when it goes soft. I don't do it very often, just often enough to remember what it feels like. I usually shift at 6000 and cruize at 5000. It just purrs there but when I run her up you can hear her roar. No pain, no fear, just a jewel of an engine yelling "I am free let me run."

Yep, when I am alone on the byke, we have alotta farmroads overhere, mostly twolane, with no intersections, no police, no radar, no critters that could jump on the road,,, the spyder likes it, and the owner too.
With the wife, 2up, I get a dent in the back of my helmet, when I rev (read drive) hard.....
the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it........
