I rode my friends 600RR tonight and it seems like the bike is geared rather low for interstate work?? I was reading 7000rpm at 80 MPH or so, is that the norm with these little six-hummin-it's?? I am acustomed to bigger bikes that pull about 4000-4500 rpm at these speeds. I didnt think the rpms would be THAT much higher (I was expecting 5500-6000) Just curious??

I've got a 600RR and in 6th gear, doing around 80, I'm usually pretty close to 7k rpm's as well. Usually a little under around 6-6 1/2. Seems pretty normal to me.

i have a 600RR and it is normal and it was geared like that I do not know why. Hopefully when my 520 conversion kit arrives, we may see a difference but I will let u you.
