I normally ride in the lower end of the rpm range and nail it after a shift to speed limit,,, +/-.

Although, It is fun to get it in the power band and feel an endless type of pull,,,,,,,

I joke at work that I plan on taking a big road trip on the weekend. When they ask where, I say, Falls or Plymouth(12 to 20 miles). I get the laugh or eye roll, then are told that I live in a vacuum.

So is the 904 MY wiser choice?
Is 11.5 to 1 Compression Ratio hard on the motor life.
