between 4 and 5k. I shift at 9.5k.
Remember...rotary makes less torque than piston engine's so we have to rev higher.

maybe YOU don't need the power, but I have a BIG SINGLE(HKS T-45S)...I can cruise at 4k because my turbo doesn't spool till 5k :P

My car is so loud at 3000 RPM and up I try not to run there if I'm just cruising along unless I know there are no cops around.
4000 RPM is OK for me in town, but it probably annoys everyone within 2 blocks
