So would you say during a 30 minute commute, 15 minutes just under or slightly above 5000 RPM is ok? I'm convinced a motorcycle engine much more "delicate" than a car for some reason. When I bought my truck, I was "gentile" with it but I did drive at highway speeds with out thinking twice. I guess I should do the same with the bike.
