Fwiw... I swapped to a 40T rear, but unfortunately failed to get an accurate top speed. 13/40 made 1st too tall for trail riding. So I swapped back to the stock 13/49.
My top speed is only 50 ish indicated...but a gps check reveals land speed to be well over 60 mph(62-64). Bottom line, don't trust that speedo until you check it. If you only need to cruise at 65, a small change to the rear sprocket should be enough to get you there. Say a 47 tooth perhaps? but really, if it is a 60 mph rd...you're probably fine to leave it as is...as to not compromise the trail worthiness.
