The truth is even tho I take my foot completely off the gas, the revs usually go up close to 2k when I push in the clutch to shift. The only way to keep this from happening is to take my foot off the gas for ~3 seconds before shifting, not usually practical.
I often overshoot going from 1st to 3rd since 1200 rpms comes pretty fast. An ideal situation would be timing the lights well enough to rarely need 1st, since it's geared so low it's almost not nessesary.
Yes, even 18 mph into 5th is no problem, but at that speed I'm only idling around the neighborhood. Things change with hills, but having a higher displacement engine helps keep the revs low around town.
