gear - speed - rpm ratio chart?

is there a chart/pdf/link that specifies the approximate ratio of mph to rpm.

on my v-strom/dl650. if i'm in 6th gear and doing 75mph then i'm spinning at approx 6k rpm, 40mph is approx 3k.

any and all thoughts are appreciated.

thumbs up.

If you want the speedo to accurately reflect your speed, use a 190/55 rear tire.

One of your graphs showed up on another forum when this same gentleman asked this same question on that forum. You may be pleased to know that you were given full credit for the work.
