Need help with RPM's at road speed.

[ROCKETOUR]

I have a 2008 R3T (no tach). I'm trying to find out engine speed in top gear at 65-80 MPH. I know that
a STD or Classic Tourer are slightly different, but probably close enough to be helpful. Can anybody out there
in Rocketland tell me their engine speed in top gear from 65-80? Thanks in advance for any input given.

Mine works out at 40klm per hour for each 1000rpm in top gear,so at 160kph(100mph) ,the engine is doing 4000. At 65 mph it would be doing 2600.
Mine is an o8 std

My 09 classic is doing 80mph at 3000 rpm roughly.

Yup 80 mph = 3000 rev's for me...

240kph @ 6000 rpm

I have an 09 R3T. I bought an Autel OBDCII reader and gauge. If it ever stops raining I will give you the numbers. I tried it out before the rain started here about 2 weeks ago. The one thing I did find out was that the speedo is calibrated very optimistically. About 10% faster than the gauge got from the ecu. Fifth gear about 60 real (66 or so indicated) kph was around 1800. I hope the rain will let up this weekend and I can get you some proper numbers.
