Whatever revs I need to achieve the required speed before changing gear.

As you can imagine, this varies quite a bit.

Anything up to 4krpm.

I won't take it above 3krpm if the engine isn't warm, unless I'm on the motorway.

Same here, at a guess I'd say I mostly change gear around 4-4.5k.

doesn anyone ever go near the limiter? or is it all more appropriate internet replies to pretend to drive like an angel?
