i told you it'd shift smoother and you'd have a grin on your face. 
my 78 GS550 shifts like butter at 8000 RPM..its sexy smooth. i imagine my 79 is the same, but around here on the city'ish roads i dont hit 8000 RPM's much.
i get some country roads again in a few weeks. woohoo.
once you're more comfortable on the bike you will shift at higher RPM's. its quite a rush if you are ready for it...or not. banging shifts while you're hanging on is awesome. it just comes with riding time and trusting your bike.
