I was thinking about the Triumph bar vibration comments though and kept an eye on what sort of revs I use cruising. Most of the ride today when I was doing steady speed over distance I seemed to only be about 4000rpm. Do people ride continually with higher revs? Would the Street Triple need constant higher revs to cover distances at a decent speed? I can't imagine it would need high revs to cruise at 60 to 70mph?

I've been using the 250 single I picked up a bit more recently as I'm less fussed about getting it mucky and that has reminded me what real bar vibrations are like! Even 40mph for half an hour has my hands tingling!
