Yep, sure is tempting to let her rip. I've given it a go but nothing major. I just got back from a quick ride....great night but unfortunately the traffic here in los angeles sucks. I actually woke up at 6am last saturday and was able to get some quality traffic free riding time in. Had a blast.

Sorry, SteveInCa, I gotta ask why? I mean it's obviously not as fast as it would be in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th!!!

During my break in that is what I was doing, shifting at 20-25, dealer said its better to be closer to 25 than 20, you just don't want to lug the engine. Lugging is worse than over reving, cause the limiter will stop you from over reving, but not from lugging.
