RE: shifting speeds for 6 speed
My shift points vary. It depends on how much power I am asking for. If I'm just cruisin 2500 -2600 shift. If I'm gettin on it I'll run to around 5000 or more \\;before shifting ... depends on my mood

I use 6th in speeds as low as 55mph. That is flat country and riding by myself. SG with SE stage one, 2.0 Rush slip-ons. The bike does okay without bogging down.

RE: shifting speeds for 6 speed
My bike has a sweet spot aprox. 2800rpm. \\;\\\\\\; I usually cruise nearby rpms...2500-3200
If I whack the throttle from these rpms, bike pulls strong to the redline. \\;

BTW, 3500 feels good in 6th at 82mph. \\;Of course, it feels good in #rd gear, if I'm feelin' a lil hooligan.\\\\\\; 4250 rpm equals 100 \\;mph in 6th? \\;
