    The important is not the consensus here, but what your manual says. Mine says 1100 rpm for a Seca900, but it could be different for your bike.

    I like 1050 to 1100. Your factory tach could be off, I know one of my bikes the tach is reading low and I have not had a chance to take it apart and clean it. Which reminds me I need to search for tach and speedo cleaning and lube.

    1200 for me also I set my idle after a 15 mile ride. found when I first set it after a 10 minutes of running it would always climb after riding. had me looking for a vacuum leak, now it is 1200 at lights and stops.
