yeah if you are needing to accelerate fast, the only option i really see is to kick it as high as you need in lower gears before upshifting. if 9k does it fine, then upshift at 9k. you wont fall off the bike or anything; having higher rpms doesnt make the bike less stable (correct me if im wrong, i was told that a revving engine actually helps stability). so i agree with bobguy (steve? haha) that you should practice somewhere safe until you feel comfortable with it
