Lowest you can get away with without lugging the engine.

turn up your idle speed to 1400+, saves the clutch and minimizes stalling at low speeds after sudden stops. turn it back down to suit traffic

Hawkrider will become famous soon enough

I usually put around at 2500-3500. That's a sweet spot for my bike for puttin'....but I usually don't put around much anymore, in which case the sweet spot becomes about 6k.
