Don't know about throttle movement, but 90 sounds feasible, although as mentioned by someone else, getting used to it plays a part - esp if you've come off a 125 or similar (which needs wringing), the throttle on a 600 is far more sensitive.
I'm a skinny git running tyres at 33F/36R.
Gears in town will vary depending on traffic and other factors; 1st / 2nd for heavy traffic or filtering, 3rd / 4th if it's clearer. I run late nights / early mornings (shifts) and I do sometimes use 5th / 6th even at 30 / 40mph (no traffic to block me, and higher gears keeps revs {noise} down a bit). It's finding a balance between the bike being able to pull, and having sufficient engine braking.
