All these comments are legit. I think it has a lot to do with personal riding style and use. The sprockets are cheap and it only takes about 20 minutes to change out. Just experiment.
I must say that my bike is a 03 TBA, smaller engine. The last trip was to BaxterCycle in Marne Iowa, a little under 190 miles. We averaged 85.3 miles/hr on the way back, per stop watch and actual miles. About 60% was slab, the other two lane. We stopped once for fuel and slowed to the speed limit for numerous farm towns. Yes, we had radar detectors.
Trumpeteer like your Bonnie I have a Thruxton for the twisties.
