When I took my bike on it's first ride I hit 60mph in a full tuck going down a small hill. A bone stock ankle nipper doing 60mph I knew I had to get out the cell phone and do a reality check. I've gotten the bike up to 56mph in a full tuck, on a level straight. The bike was doing 8200rpms with the 15t sprocket. I put a 108 link chain on it yesterday and installed a 16t sprocket. I was able to get up to 56mph@7100rpms on the way home from work today. I've gotta 17t sprocket on order, which will get me up to cruising speed at an even lower rpm, but I'm thinking 16t may be the best compromise between top end speed and off the line acceleration. With the 15t sprocket 1st gear was useless, I would start off in 2nd and give it a little more throttle before letting out the clutch. I can use 1st gear with the 16t sprocket, but under 30mph the acceleration is
