Don't remember what the RPM's were I think around 10 or 11K. I do remember that it got there quite easily though. I'm 5'10" 145 lbs so ymmv.
I will agree with you though that there are a lot of little things about the 300 that I like. The shape of the tank, the slipper clutch, the exhaust sound, and I could go on.
