RE: Perfect Shift...
i hope hes talking about racing since he said he shifts at 7100...as for the perfect shift im not so sure about it but my redline is about the same i think and when im pushing it i usually shift just before it hits 7000.

RE: Perfect Shift...
Well, not completely true... you have think about where in the powerband it is when you get into the higher gear. The curve starts to drop off, yeah but when you shift you want to be as high in the power band as possible so, you have to find a medium between how far you want to go after it starts dropping off and how far you want to drop back down the curve. You want to stay as high on the curve as you can all the time. If you shift right at the peak power you'll far too far backwards back down the powerband, but shifting just after it sets you up to get to peak power faster.
