If you know your tyre size, and your gearbox, with the Avantone's fantastic app you can see your rpm and the speed to this rpm.

I use a garmin forerunner which is GPS running 17/46 6000 rpm = 59mph 7000 = 70mph 8200= 82mph
82mph on a main strem road frightening bike all over the road been told its tyres (racemans) my bike will rev to just over 10000 rpm so you can work it out
I now think its not how fast we go but how fast we can get there :lol:

Also ensure your clutch is not slipping, because 10,000 won't = 100 mph if it is.

But will it rev to 10k in 4th on the road? Mine'll rev to 9k on a dyno with the same gearing and a Devtour pipe, but it won't do 90mph on the road.
BTW what oil you running with that clutch?

Soulsurfer, do you have a link to the online manual for the clutch? I need to know what metal the crownwheel is made from?
