It's just a different riding style I guess. I routinely ran my 750 up to redline in 1st and 2nd gear. And when cruising I kept in in the 6-8k range. If I all the sudden wanted to become a hooligan, an quick snap of the throttle would make it happen without having the downshift. And before you ask.. No I never did wheelies intentionally.
