What speed would you cruise at if unrestricted limit

3500 rpms is where the beotch likes it... the gear I am in is dependent on traffic...
 
My comfort zone on the R3T would be between 80 - 110 MPH. I've had her up a little higher, but I sensed a little head shake approaching 115 MPH. I backed off and haven't had her up that high again since. It may have been related to the windshield - not sure.

Anything below 110 MPH - solid as a rock, with or without the screen.
 
That straight stretch that crosses the Utah salt flats on I-80 is good at 105 mph...I think it is posted @ 85 mph now but I passed several oncoming cops that never looked twice @ me.

If I am not in a hurry and my main goal is economy, then I try and keep the rev's @ or just under, if possible, 3,000 rpm.

70 mph more or less after that it gets harder to hear my music.

Don't usually listen to music when I'm riding a lot above 3,500 rpm. The bike becomes the music!
 
MOST OF US SEEM TO LIKE AROUND 140 TO 160 KS (80 TO 100 MILES)
NOW IF THERE IS ANY R3 OWNERS IN THE NT WHERE THEY INTRODUCED UNRESTRICTED LIMIT AGAIN
