[QUOTE="torch, post: 1461520, member: 1295"] The bike will get it's best fuel economy on the highway in 5th gear, but accelerate to pass best if you downshift. Other than that, the bike doesn't really care -- the torque curve is extremely flat, pulling well at anything over 3,000 rpm; the balancing shaft is very effective. I still remember my first FJR ride. I hit it at 3,500 rpm, felt the front wheel start to lift and thought "Oh wow, the powerband starts here." Then I rolled on from 5,000 and thought "Ooops, I stand corrected," Finally I hit it at 7,000 and had just enough time to think "Sweet Jesus!" before hitting the rev limiter. That was how she told me her name was Pandora. [/QUOTE]
