I was just wondering . . . on your NH, wherebouts on the tach do you guys usually toe it in to the next gear? Just during normal day-to-day riding, I'll shift around 4-5k rpm . . . on those lazy sundays  jkam

Please read a few similar old threads during the Labor Day weekend:

Short answer, keep RPM as low as possible while allowing decent acceleration.
