At what speed is the motor smoothest for most people here or is there more than one speed.

Mine was 60mph stock. After carb, K&N filter, and Jardine pipe it was 65mph. After chaindrive conversion it was 70mph. But don't go by mine. I can't get any top end at all since I bought it new in 2006. Mine just runs out of steam. Mine is an oddity. It screams up to 70mph, and starts to fall off after that in performance.Most others here have no problems at all, even when stock. Hutch

Hmmmmm.... 70 - 75
'cause at that speed there's 6 seconds in front and at least 2 in back.
And the shocks seem to smooth out a bit.

60-65 is most comfortable for me. Anything faster than 65 and my head starts bobbing in the wind. Makes for a very sore neck in a very short time.
At 60, the engine is just purring and if you crack the throttle, has enough oomph left to get you up to 75 and around slower traffic in a hurry.

Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

For me? WOT, or as fast as she will stay right side up. I do tend to ride a bit aggressively though.

Hey, wait! My previous answer was my "constant speed" answer. I like WOT anytime!

I like the rumbly massage speed -- 35-40 mph in 5th gear.

Oooosh. Hard for me to do that. My dad beat into my head the horribleness of lugging an engine when I got my first car ('68 Beetle). I know our bikes will take it, but I consider 40 to be low-4th gear. I really need to concentrate on running my bike at lower RPMs.
