Top Cruise RPM

Top Cruise RPM
I typically don't get much above 75mph unless I am passing someone. So I have not had to deal with this question but it has always been in the back of my mind.
What is the RPM limit for these TC 96''s for a long cruise?
Say I am wanting to burn up the miles out on a desert Hiway, from one gas stop to the next. What RPM limit is my motor going to like?
I know short accelerations don't matter much, right up to the rev limiter, but I can't imagine holding it at 5K+ for any length of time. Where can I hold it all day without stressing the motor?

I think it's kinda of subjective really. You have a six speed...and I don't think you can ride it at 120 mph for long periods..legally.
I've rode my Ninja for short bursts (20-50 seconds) at 1000-1500 RPM below redline (factory rev-limiter in place) and don't think you can do any damage.
Really though, if your engine has a weak link, you'll find it pushing it towards the red for sure.

It really doesn't run right in 6th below 75 unless you've good dance floor dead level conditions with no traffic to cause you to slow down and speed up. Not much of that here in ATL.
