Re: When do you shift?
I normaly shift between 4-6. I haven't gone past 10 still want to go easy on it.
My R1 is 13750, thats high for a 1000. I going to say a 600 does but I don't know which one.

Re: When do you shift?
the CBR250RR's redline is 19,000 rpm!!!!!! too bad its not available in the states, you can get them, but you'll pay a premium and titling it might be alot of work
as for readily available bikes in the US off the top of my head i would say the 2004 gsx-r 600 has the highest at 15,500 like you said

The smaller the cc'd bike the more you have to wring it's neck for power; meaning a higher redline. Most 1000's don't redline much past 10k; as most 600's are 13.5k and up.

Re: When do you shift?
mine actually tach's out at 12,250... same year 600's obviously rev higher, but it wasn't that long ago that 12k would have been average for a 600

Re: When do you shift?
Smaller displacement motor = small pistons = less rotating mass = high redline
Same principle applies to twins having lower redline than fours. A 1000cc twin's pistons are twice the size of a 1000cc four's pistons, which obviously puts more stress on the rotating parts so you can't safely rev them as high.
My 500cc twin redlines at 10K
