2013 V7 when riding in 5thgear between 45 and 50 mph I hear a rough kind of whine from the trans. Goes away above or below that speed range. Any ideas on what this could be? thanks
 
That mileage should be 2nd or 3rd gear, it doesn't have a heavy flywheel like older bigblocks. Smallblocks have always been 1000rpm higher than the BBs.

You're lugging the engine. That bike needs a minimum of 4000 RPM in 4 or 5.

My 1200 Breva is the same . Not happy in 6th until doing 4000 RPM. So most of the time I only get into 5th.

4000 RPM in 5th = 100 kph or 60 mph . And most of our roads here in Australia have a 100 kph limit any faster and its loss of licence time. Over 130 kph and your car/ bike is impounded 😡
