Is the Harley Davidson XL1200S Sportster full throttle?
The Sport also feels stronger and slightly more responsive at all rpm, and is most improved at the normal operating rpm. You can feed it full throttle at 2000 rpm without lugging, and it will pull to 6000 rpm. However, the engine’s mechanical capabilities limit high-rpm operation less than the rider’s tolerance for vibration.
What should the RPM be on a Harley Davidson?

Is the Harley Sportster 1200 Sport a good bike?
Though the vibration would make us reluctant to choose it for long-distance rides, Harley Sportster 1200 Sport provides more punch around town than other H-Ds and can provide hours of pleasure on winding roads. Its distinctive styling makes it a natural choice for riders who like the brand but don’t want a me-too Harley cruiser.

What’s the RPM of a Harley Davidson Tri Glide?
Keep in mind they are telling you this because it is not good to lug your motor. I usually shift into 6th on my ultra between 60 and 65. At 65 my bike turns about 2500 RPM by my tach, I usually run a lot at 70 and it turns between 2600-2700 RPM. Keep in mind a tri glide is probably a lot heavier than my ultra.
What should my rpm be at 70 mph?
Installed an SE 6-spd. Now at 70 mph I am at about 2,550 or 2,600 rpm. At 3,000 I am closer to 80 mph. Like Grillfish said above, I like to keep my rpms around 2,500 rpm when running a constant speed. So if I am tooling around town, I will find the gear that gives that to me.
