I like 5000-5500 rpm. I have ran 20 km @ 6250-6500 without problems.

My top speed occurrs @ 8000rpm in 5th ( 80 mph ) 125-130 k/ph

Most days I can reach 7500 rpm in 5th 120 k/hr ( 75 mph ) max.

On longer rides 20 km + I just keep below 6000 rpm and the engine runs fine.

Interesting info. With all that has been said and done I would think the 250's have a sweet spot at about 6000 rpm in most cases. Thanks.
