Just wondering what is correct speed for each gear on an 1800 don't have a handbook, it's just to settle a difference of opinion with another rider. Would like to know what it says in the handbook ,
Thanks lads for the information, I little surprised with the official speeds to gear change so maybe that is where my mate is getting it from . don't think I will change my riding stlye it just feels a lot better when you ride with the rev counter up around 3500 to 4000 rpm. A lot of wing owners I know like to get into top gear as soon as possible and allow the engine to pull along in a high gear I find in a lower gear the bike feels much more stable on the road like it was on a rail and you are never coasting around corners.
@justayooper - I'm glad you can say you're one that's ENJOYED an 1800. They're smooth and powerful as a turbine. For those that never exceed 2,500 RPM, they're missing out on most of the torque curve
