If you stick to 4000rpm, you'll be overtaken by someone pushing a stroller. It is practically impossible to adhere to unless you have your own private track and lots of time.

Yes, no way to keep that engine under 4,000 rpm.....except at idle...
On my test ride, riding very conservatively, I shifted at 5,000 rpm.
At 7,000 rpm the buzz in the seat and handlebars kicked in.
When checking the specs of the Ninja, I found the sprockets are 14/42.
The X-300's are 14/46, which will yield an even higher rpm at the same speeds.
Sully, what is the fuel mileage on your Ninja?
