I find 3-4K rpm to be the worst rev range, it's the torque dip and I avoid it like the plague.
It's sweet up to 3000rpm and even sweeter after getting over 4000rpm and for me it's one or the other.
I also find it responsive below 3000rpm and more than enough to leave the traffic behind around town most of the time.
