Depending on the type of riding your doing, depends on the rpm range, if your just cruising along, then lower RPMs are fine. In a urban/city/traffic you want it to be up a bit, so you'll be able to get out of trouble quickly, and have the bike be more responsive.

Cruising for hours at high RPMs won't hurt the bike. I rode mine 700 miles in a day, and all interstate speeds, about 80 mph, and getting above 50 mpg.

You need to stop thinking it's a car, and embrace your inner motorcycle child.

I suggest you take the MSF course in your area http://www.msf-campus.org/

Good luck canuck, and here's my standard greeting,
