120 km/h @ 6,000 RPM On 5th Gear (Last) Is Normal?

lol for real? Well there's a reason why I bought a sport-tourer... I want the sportiness looks of a SS but not too much revvs while cruising at highway speeds.

The solution has already been spoon-fed to you in an earlier post.

My old cb750f is around the same.

This is my signature

Way to apologise.

Peggy might have his quirks but at least he treats people with respect.

Yeah, he sure does.

iirc, my sv is turning between 4500 and 5000 rpm at 120km/h

I had a ZR7S for a while, rode like 80k on it I think...

the revs are a bit high stock on that bike, i don't remember if that is stock gearing on your bike but does sound about right... I remember that I added on a +1 sprocket to the front to relax highway cruising when I was on trips...

I kept a 2nd rim with a sportier tire on the back that had a +3 sprocket ... helped make around town riding more fun If you want the 2nd rear rim, let me know I'll sell it to you ... has new bearings
