around town, I shift between 3500 to 4500 RPM, and stay at 3500 rpm or higher just in case I need to blast off. On the highway, I am around 3500 to 4500 as well, unless I am being crazy then it is all the way up to redline (but not for sustained riding however)

When I am riding aggressively, I will go right before the rev-limiiter as my queue to shift.

Just like Shakey said though, I think my Thruxton's sweet spot is around 3000 to 3500 RPM. Low enough so the engine is not working too hard, high enough so I can get out of trouble if I need to.
