Redline is 14k (at least on the old models). That should tell you something right off the bat. You won't start getting the powerband until about 8k. 8k-12 or 13k is pretty much the most pull that the bike has. But as was said before, it does burn some oil when you keep the revs high. I've had to put in another liter of oil since my oil change about 2.5k miles ago. But then again, I like to feel the bike accelerate (i know, i know, it's only a 250. it doesn't accelerate that hard), and I rev it almost to redline whenever I'm feeling squirrely.
