RPM's at 70

[nhmaf]

I've also found that my tachometer has to be just  a little over 5000 rpm (probably around 5200 or 5300) to register 72 mph on the speedometer  (32/9 final drive ratio, W1318 speedo, 85 MPH full scale)

I had a longer ride in it. Tach does have some variation around 4500 rpms but at 5K it smoothes out.
The ride is very smooth at 60-65 mph range but starts to get a little jumpy after that.
There's a period of foot-peg vibration at a little less than 70 that levels  out after that, but the wind starts to make a difference.

I agree with speeds of about 65 mph are more comfortable and less tiring (without a fairing installed) than the 75 mph speed limit on rural interstate highways here in Aridzona .

I'm never in that big of a hurry when I'm on the R65 .

Fuel economy really degrades at 75 mph !!!!

I find I enjoy the ride at 60-65. The engine sounds great, not hurried. What I really enjoyed was its ease at cornering. What I loose by not riding 70-75 y get back by taking curves without effort. I just need to get know the bike a little better.
I do have a bit of trouble with RPM's staying high after a run getting into a town. I can compensate by using a high gear and braking the rpm's down then it works correctly.
