I wouldn't be mid corner at 9k ... usually at 3.5k~4k or less ... but maybe a bit higher ...?

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

My 750 had to be 5K+ coming out or it would feel like you threw out an anchor. Grin

4k is a bit low, torque peak is up around 6 so that's the better place to start pulling from
