Well, between lights etc i hardly ever let it rev above 6k. In fact, i hardly let it rev until the roads a bit more clear (like the A2).
I do have my fun times when roads are a bit clear, but find im off the throttle before any real speeds gained, which is a good thing really
I just find im carefull with the right hand and make use of the torque from low down in the revs without straining the engine.
