Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #92 Say what? Maybe I'm missing something, but compared to an S1000RR, the RS engine vibrates like a 20 year-old washing machine...lol! Not that I mind, so long as I'm cruising between 4,000 and 5,000 rpm. In that range, it's a pussycat. Have you managed to eliminate or diminish vibes on the RS engine somehow? I always expect to get rattled when I push toward 7,000 to 8,000 rpm on this bike. |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #94Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #93Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #92 I usually do, when I'm cruising. The other day, though, I ran through a large part of a canyon in 3rd gear with the revs high...right around that "peak torque" area, just for fun...and it WAS fun, but I wouldn't want to do it all day! Once I got into a higher gear and got the revs into that 4K to 5K range, it was nice and smooth. |

7 to 8 RPM is 78 to 89% full throttle and as Wessie noted is well past max. torque at 6250-rpm Perhaps a bike with Max Torque at 9200 rpm and a 14600 rpm redline is a better choice for you.
