All depends. That's the right answer. The answer you're looking for: not bouncing off the rev limiter.

I ride around just under 5k when I'm cruising. Then of course I'm right around 6500-7 when I'm on the highway in 6th. I treat it like a car, you aren't going to rev it high every time are you? Fuel efficiency is key when you're just riding around town.
