Default 2016 Iron 883 RPM's

Hey gents - New to the harley world, just picked up an iron 883 and getting used the shift points/redline sounds. I've been trying to keep the rpm's between 2800-3500 but hitting those higher 4000+ rpm's on the highway or back country at 110km/h.

Anything I should know about this? I'm assuming running the bike at 110km/h shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks!
