My 850 runs 3800 at 70mph. Exactly what gearing I don't know because it has a BNR belt and a TTI five speed with a lower
first gear set.
The rpm at cruise is fine on a level playing field for a wee lad flying solo. As I live in hilly country long pulls really need to go down to 4th but it isn't absolutely necessary just thinking of the load on the engine etc. If you are a hotshoe then it really is a tad too high. My T150v Trident runs 4200 at 70 but it is heavier and more of a revver .
So much depends on how you ride, where you ride and how much your all up weight is. If your riding covers the whole spectrum then you make your choice on which area gets the most time.
