WOT all the time, pin it to win it!!!!
I'd say 3rd gear for cruising at whatever that rpm is for 45mph. 1st or 2nd otherwise.
1st gear....
I think I am the slowest here. If I am lazy I'll be in 5th. If not 4th.
1st gear....
+1
I stay on 1st gear cruising around the city. The only time I get off 1st gear is when I go on a highway or if I go 55mph+
But sometimes when im pretty broke, I never go over 6k rpm at any gear LOL!
2nd or 3rd gear depending on the situation. I personally like too keep my rpms at about 6000-7000.
if im cruising in the city.. usually 3rd and keep rpms under 7k
1st gear is 7,000rpm
4th is 4,500 rpm

I do second gear at the lowest, third most often with 45 mph
I like to keep it aroud 6-7k so probably third
I like to keep it aroud 6-7k so probably third
About the same if I am just cruising around.
2nd if there's traffic, 3rd if there's open space and I don't expect I'll need to slow down regularly. 1st is getting a little irritating for everyone around you if you have a louder aftermarket exhaust and just wastes gas.
Before my -1/+2 conv. I use to cruise it in 3rd, now I cruise in 4th at 45-50mph
3rd or 4th, around 5000 rpms +/- depending on the situation. i know the engine is built for revs, but i cant stand high revs for extended periods at the same rpm. it's like all i can thinkabout when i hear her screamin is shiftshiftshiftshiftshiftshift.
5th or 6th... I ride like a grandpa most of the time...
I'm with Nico... 5th or 6th
2nd or 3rd gear depending on the situation. I personally like too keep my rpms at about 6000-7000.
:+1: me too.
Typical riding, probably 3rd.

Slow relaxed not-so-loud low RPM cruising, as high as 5th.
5th or 6th... I ride like a grandpa most of the time...
I've been grandpa'ing it lately just to save gas, something is wrong and I now get 30mpg on the highway.
