Hi,

a SF in top gear?

Can check for you later on tonight Ernesto.
The only point that sticks in my head is about 3900rpm in 5th is 100kph.
Will be just starting to make nice music at 5000

3000 rpm equates to 80 kph in fifth gear. I did over 7000 kilometers of this while travelling through Norway. It was very relaxing  .

On Tom?s bike it woud be 133km/h
On Pat?s it would be 128km/h
It does depend on your size and profile rear tyre.
(Or according to "Revs" bike mag in Australia back in the day, it depends on how well run in your bike is. The 3CL they tested the said used less rpm at the start of their test week than at the end of the week when it had loosened up considerably!!)

Thanks to you all.
