shifting on a K12R VS R1150R
I only have experience on an R1150R, which liked to be shifted between 4 ~ 4.5 K. What is the comfort spot for the K12R? I don't want to set any land speed records, just for normal shifting.

That would be pretty hazardous around town.
In traffic, I generally shift between 4 and 6k. But really I just go by what feels right. If i'm just cruising along I keep it pretty sedate, but if i'm trying to make a freeway entrance on a short ramp i'll rip it on up to 11k in 2nd (and then I have to slow back down to somewhere close to the speed limit).
