Juris... I have a 96 750. I have done highway for few hours while doing 70-80 mph. I think at those speeds it cruses above 6k rpm. Honestly, I think that as long as you are below the redline, there is no problem. If you just want to cruse at lower rpms you can always get a different rear and/or front sprocket, according to what you want.
