It feels like it has a fairly linear powerband if you open it up slowly, But if you crack it open rapidly it comes alive at 3500-5K. I plan on regearing it when I change the chain. I also own a '85 Honda Interceptor Vf750 that I ride on the street.

Cool bike!

Thanks! Yea it def has that old school powerband if you crank it. But it's also quite controllable.
