Highway RPM's
I have been riding my 99 cbr600f4 for two seasons now, last year I really didn't put many miles on it and stuck with secondary roads and such. This year I am going a lot further and finding myself on the highways more and more. I believe my bike was geared for quick acceleration, seems to be down 1 in the front up 3 in the back. This is great on slower speed roads, however, on highways the bike seems to be revving way to high for sustained riding. When I am on the highway say 70-75 mph, according to my gps, I am around 7k rpm. Is this ok to ride at for a sustained period of time or should I bring the gearing back more towards stock?

I have the -1, +2 combo and my bike is also at about 7300rpm at about 70mph. I was told that its not bad and that its a perfect range for rpm.
The only thing is the fuel is burning up a little more but then again my bike is to have fun while riding, not try to save up on gas, or I would've gotten a prius.
