Got my new 06 bla bla bla. Anyway, it's my first FJR and I can't help from twisting it at every opportunity. I noticed on the freeway today at 4k rpm the speedo was close to 80mph, and I was just keeping pace with traffic. This can't be right. So in order for me to keep my FJR as long as possible, does anyone know what the speedo error is on this rocket? Or maybe just list GPS speeds in 5th at 3k and 4k rpm...It would help me out alot - I really want to keep this bike.

 
Someone once posted a website where there was a chart showing speed vs RPM in each of the five gears. I can't seem to find the website but I did print out the graph. It looks like at 4k RPM, the speed in 5th gear is about 76mph, and at 3K RPM it is about 57 mph.
