Can you just restrict your right wrist?

Most people rev their bikes too high when maintaining steady flat cruise. I shift my CBR600 into 6th at 35mph if I'm just cruising at that speed.

Re-tooth the sprockets is probably the cheapest and best bang for your buck mod for MPGs. My bike is screaming around 6000rpm just keeping up with the flow of freeway traffic.
