A good rule of thumb is to shift 10% past your peak HP rpm point.
So basically if you have a GS-R 10% past 7600rpm is 8k.

Oh wait. I misread that wrong. I thought the lad was asking the most optimum shifting point in spirited conditions. I wasn't joking about that.

There's this thing called "common sense". Of course if there isn't room to go to 8360rpm, you go as close as you can without hitting the limiters.
