Put myself at 6'4 260lbs on that same bike, being pretty much 30-40% dimensionally bigger on that same bike, and 68 will be the best I can do.
very true, I converted a mid 2000s pep boys dirt bike into a cafe bike with a 200cc CJ engine and it would do 84mph with a handlebar fairing on it and me tucked down
