I've had my SD1290 for a couple weeks now and I'm still getting used to the characteristics of this engine. I want to know which gear people ride in for the following typical scenarios:
urban riding (60km/h or 38 mph)
back roads (80km/h or 50mph)
highways (100 km/h or 62 mph)
Coming from a Harley, which I realise is a completely different bike, I am used to lower revs. When I change up in gears, the bike tends to feel too snatchy and the revs drop back too suddenly. I think this is because I haven't got the revs up high enough to begin with.
I would appreciate some comments on how other SD owners ride.
