I owned a 97 f3, and it had pretty good power for my first bike, your probably just not going high enough. Dont quote me on that though.

On my f4i, at a spirited pace, I like to keep the revs between 9000 and 14,000. Keeping it above 9000, from my experience, provides the best drive out of the corners.

I would have to agree. 9k - 14k is the best range

Mine feels quite spirited from 7k up, I usually shift around 13k too.

If I had to get really technical I would say my bike starts to really pick up around 8500-8600 and I shift from 12.5k - 13.5k....or at least try to HAHAHA
